“We try to do something different every year, and this year we will see much greater participating on stage by our actors,” said David Kiley, Editor of EncoreMichigan and executive producer of the event.

“After doing the show for a few years, I feel like I have made the mistakes one needs to make in order to produce a smooth show and I believe this year will be our best ever,” said Kiley.

The show is open to the public, and EncoreMichigan encourages nominees and the theatre community to bring family members and friends. Tickets will be $20.00. There will be light fare during the cocktail hour and a bar throughout the evening.
