The Northeastern Theatrical Alliance (NEPTA) is an organization connecting and supporting the participating community theatres across Northeastern PA. The organization hosts an annual awards ceremony in the spring that highlights and honors the best of the best in community theatre the previous year. The categories mirror those of the Tony Awards, including Best Actor and Actress in a Comedy, Drama, and Musical, and many more.
This year, due to COVID-19, we were unable to gather together in our usual forum and therefore held an online, virtual ceremony for all to stream. We are thankful to our NEPTA family for hosting this event and for allowing and providing us an opportunity to celebrate the 2019 theatrical season.
Below you will find a list of the 2019 NEPTA Award Recipients.
Join us in congratulating our PTPA award winners and all those across NEPTA!
Cheers to next season!
