Rearview Citations


Theatertimes' Annual Rearview Citations, announced each January, are based on one critic's attendance. They are given to artists and institutions that, upon reflection, continue to stand out as a landmark. This may be something of historic consequence for the American Theater. Or, it may celebrate a forward-leaping achievement by an individual artist – even if it happened in a forgettable production.


2010 Rearview Citations will be announced in January 2011
