      On June 22nd, 6:30 pm, the Jessie Richardson Theatre Awards take place at the Commodore Ballroom (868 Granville).

      The annual awards ceremony, which began in 1982, honours the artists who have helped create Vancouver's vibrant theatre community, which now consists of over 40 companies.

      It takes its name from Jessie Richardson, a Vancouver-theatre pioneer whose over 40 years of experience included stints with the Vancouver Little Theatre, the Dominion Drama Festival, the Frederick Wood Theatre UBC, and the Vancouver Playhouse.

      Tickets for the Jessie Richardson Theatre Awards are $40.50 and can be bought online in advance.
