2014 Motif Theater Awards Nominees: Vote! CLICK HERE TO VOTE As we’ve been doing for years, Motif seeks to recognize the excellence in local theater at many different levels. We polled the critics and theater companies themselves– about their own best work and the best work they saw. Here’s who they picked! At our awards show, coming in late August, we’ll have technical and critics’ choice awards– but most of all, we want to know what you, the audience, thought. Please vote for your favorites– for the performances and productions that moved, astonished or touched you.
