The Robert Merritt Theatre Awards (Merritt Awards)
The Merritt Awards, named after theatre educator Robert Merritt, recognize outstanding professional theatre in Nova Scotia and are presented at an annual awards ceremony.
Organized to coincide with World Theatre Day in March, the ceremony honours achievement in 11 main categories including acting, directing, design, new writing, stage-managing and music. Additionally, contributions from community and professional theatre are recognised with the Volunteer of the Year Award.
The awards are decided by a jury of 4 members, made up of 3 artists and a member from the community who has substantial links with or engages in the theatre scene.
A list of past winners is available on the awards' official website.
