Every year, we are always looking for award presenters!

Would you like to present an award at this year's ceremony?

We give priority to presenters according to the following criteria:

  1. Award recipients from the previous year, including producers and stage managers of awarded shows. (If you received an award last year, then you are automatically eligible to present, but please complete this form so that we know how to contact you)
  2. Former Award Recipients or Nominees from companies that received few nominations in the current year (we try to make sure that every company is represented on stage.  However, it should be noted that with 28 categories and more than 28 theater companies in WATCH, clearly we cannot accommodate a presenter from every group).
  3. Multi-Theater Past Nominees/Award Recipients - If your resume' includes WATCH nominations/awards and recent work at multiple WATCH Theaters (including groups with fewer nominations).
  4. Nominees from the previous year. (this includes producers and stage managers of nominated shows)
  5. Past Award Recipients and Nominees prior to the previous year. (NOTE: Please understand that if you are a former nominee or past award recipient from a company that received a large number of nominations this year, we may opt to ask a presenter from the Theater VIPs list to help balance the representation from across the WATCH program).
  6. Theater VIPs/Board Members
  7. Current Nominees - after nominations, we already know who will be receiving awards.  Current nominees, with the exception of award recipients from last year, are often not asked to be presenters, since they may be giving an acceptance speech during the evening.

A Couple Notes About Presenting:

  1. You may submit this form at any time during the year, but we do not start contacting presenters until after nominations are announced in January.
  2. You do not get to choose the category in which you will present, and we do not allow presenters to present trophies in the categories in which they compete.  (For instance Costume Designers do not present the costume design award, and actors are always asked to present awards to actresses).
  3. Presenters are asked to be at the ceremony 30 minutes ahead of curtain time so that they can receive their assignments/instruction at a short meeting in the lobby.
  4. Presenters are encouraged to help us keep the whole evening moving by being ready to go on stage promptly and to not make long introductions to their category.
  5. Presenters must purchase a ticket to the ceremony like everyone else. (No Comps!).

 If you would like to add your name to the pool of possible presenters, please complete the form below.
