1999 Critics' Table Nominations

The Austin Theatre Critics' Table has released the nominations for its seventh annual awards for achievement in theatre. Critics representing the Austin American-Statesman, The Austin Chronicle, Round Rock Leader, and West Austin News honored work produced on Austin stages from May 1998 through April 1999. This year's honors also recognized achievements in dance, classical music, and the visual arts as well as theatre. The awards will be announced in a public ceremony in early June. (Note: Members refrained from voting in categories in which critics or members of their family were eligible.) --Robert Faires
