June 1 2026

The Elliot Norton Awards are presented annually by the Boston Theater Critics Association to honor outstanding productions, directors, designers, and performers whose work audiences have seen on greater Boston stages throughout the season.

The Elliot Norton Awards are named for the eminent Boston theater critic Elliot Norton, who remained an active supporter of drama, both locally and nationally, until his death in 2003 at the age of 100. Despite shrinking governmental support for the arts, The Boston Theater Critics Association champions Mr. Norton’s legacy in celebrating our outstanding theater community!
