The Fifth Annual RTCC (Richmond Theatre Critics Circle) Awards Ceremony/Celebration was held at the November Theatre last night. The ceremony was hosted by WRIC news anchor and man-about-town Juan Conde. All event proceeds support The Theatre Artist Fund of Greater Richmond. The ceremony/celebration lasted just over four hours, but everyone had a grand time reliving the last year’s shows.

The ceremony was live-tweeted by ShowBizRadio editor Laura Clark. Later today we’ll be publishing the thoughts of our two Richmond area reviewers as well as interviews that were conducted with award recipients. ShowBizRadio is excited to be covering theater in the vibrant Richmond region.
