As the community rallied behind the festival, they gathered in the evening for the 32nd Annual Dora Mavor Moore Awards at the Bluma Appel Theatre at the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts. The ceremony was hosted by Craig Lauzon and Michaela Washburn.
Leading the way with five awards was Buddies in Bad Times' production of Blasted, which won in the General Division for Best Production, Direction (Brendan Healy), Set Design, Lighting Design and Sound.
A number of productions were double-winners: Priscilla Queen of the Desert, The Musical; Billy Elliot, The Musical; Orfeo ed Euridice; The Situationists; paper SERIES; and Through the Leaves. The wins for paper SERIES brought rousing ovations for Best Direction winner Nina Lee Aquino and Best Sound Design/Composition winner Richard Lee, who are a husband-and-wife team.
A Year With Frog and Toad had led with eight nominations. It only won a single award, but it was the important Best Production award in the Music Theatre division. Best Production in the Opera division was Orfeo ed Euridice, while in the Independent Theatre division it went to Through the Leaves. Routes was named best of Theatre for Young Audiences. With Dance, the Best Production winner was Out of Context - for Pina.
