Before we announce the winners of the 2016 MyTheatre Awards, we’re proud to present our annual Nominee Interview Series.

Within that, Outstanding Actor nominee Adam Cunningham crafted one of the most complex and frustratingly human characters of […]
Before we announce the winners of the 2016 MyTheatre Awards, we’re proud to present our annual Nominee Interview Series.
