Why is the Perry Award Ceremony held on a Sunday night?
The Perry Awards Ceremony is held on a Sunday night for two reasons. First, NJACT wanted to ensure that the ceremony would not compete with our member’s shows for attendance. We understand how difficult it is to fill theaters these days, so the last thing the theater community needs is another reason for someone not to attend a show. Second, the very people who are nominated for Perry Awards are the actors and artists typically in demand, which means most are working on shows which stage performances on Fridays and Saturdays. By holding the ceremony on a Sunday night, we ensure better attendance by the very people whose work we want to celebrate.
