20th Anniversary Artie Award Nominations
by Anthony Chase
The 20th Anniversary Artie Awards, celebrating excellence in Buffalo theater, will be held on Monday, June 7, at the Town Ballroom. The event will be a benefit for Benedict House, which provides services for individuals and families affected by HIV/AIDS. It’s the 20th anniversary of the Artie Awards, and so a special edition of the event is planned. More tuxedos are likely. Nominees for the awards are listed below.
