Winners
The Kensington Prize: Streetlights, People! Productions’ Ordinary Days, music and lyrics by Adam Gwon, presented by arrangement with R&H Theatricals Europe, following the parallel lives of four New Yorkers struggling to find meaning in the madness: Claire, who can’t let go of her past; Jason, determined to begin their future together; Warren, an artist who’s lost his sense of purpose; and Deb, a student who’s lost her thesis notes. A witty, poignant, and ultimately very relatable story about human connection and finding beauty in unexpected places. Ordinary Days will run for three weeks beginning November 21st.
The Gloucester Prize: Half a String’s production of A Heart at Sea, an epic folktale told on miniature scale. Stunning visuals and beautiful live music come together to create a breath-taking spectacle. Puppets roam a beautifully carved chest to recount the story of whales, tiny boats, and beards. A Heart at Sea will run for one week beginning November 14th.
The Brompton Prize: Hot Gay Productions’ Hot Gay Time Machine, covering all the important moments of a gay man’s life, from coming out to your mum, to navigating the naked politics of the school locker room, this musical duo present a camp, ridiculous and honest celebration of LGBTQ+ culture and difference. Hot Gay Time Machine will run for two nights beginning December 3rd.
