Among other nominations, the cast of Clue is up for Best Ensemble for Fool Moon Theatre Company of Margate.
Three local theater companies have been nominated for multiple BroadwayWorld New Jersey Awards. They are East Lynne Theater Co. in Cape May, Fool Moon Theatre Co. in Margate and Studio;Space in Somers Point.
The nominations were submitted by readers of BroadwayWorld, which covers theater happenings on Broadway, London's West End, 100 U.S. cities and 45 countries. The New Jersey Awards span the entire state's regional productions, touring shows and more performed between Oct. 1, 2022 and Sept. 30.
We are thrilled to have been nominated by our audiences for BroadwayWorld New Jersey Awards, said Craig Fols, artistic director at East Lynne, who along with the theater company, is up for awards for directing and playwriting. Regardless of who wins, we are happy to share nominations with these other regional theater companies. It just goes to prove that you don't have to go to Philadelphia or New York to see great theater. We have award nominated, and hopefully some award winning performing arts right here in South Jersey."
