The Gregory Awards are the Puget Sound performing arts community's annual celebration of outstanding work. What began in 1998 as the Gregory A. Falls Sustained Achievement Award has grown into a year-long program spanning dozens of categories, hundreds of nominators, and productions from across the region.
Each season, nominators are assigned to attend and assess productions entered for consideration. Nominations are collected, finalists are selected, and active TPS members vote to recognize outstanding work in our community.
The Gregory Awards season runs from Labor Day to Labor Day each year. Productions with performance dates within that window are eligible for consideration.
Member organizations are encouraged to enter their productions for consideration across 34 available categories. Once submitted, nominators are assigned and will contact your box office directly to reserve their complimentary tickets.
Nominators attend assigned productions and submit scoring throughout the season. Once the season concludes, the top 5 scoring productions in each category become that year's nominees. Active TPS members then have the opportunity to cast People's Choice votes in select categories ahead of the October celebration.
For any production to be considered for the Gregory Awards, the following must be met:
Individuals do not need to be TPS members to be considered — they simply must be part of a production submitted by a TPS Star Member Organization.
