STATEMENT FROM THE ACTING PRESIDENT

The Acting President of the Board of the JESSIE RICHARDSON THEATRE AWARDS has released a statement alongside the announcement of the return of a Juried Awards Season by the Jessies. 

CALL FOR ADVISORY BOARD

The Jessie Richardson Theatre Award Society is seeking five people from the Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD) theatre community to form an Advisory Board who will support our ongoing restructuring process. 

Announcement of Jessie Awards Hiatus

It has been a difficult few years for everyone, and the performing arts have faced unique challenges during this time. One of the biggest challenges faced by the Jessies has been the engagement and involvement of the theatre community on our juries, committees, and Board of Directors. To that end, the Board of Directors has made the difficult decision for the Jessie Awards to go on hiatus and pause all jurying as of May 1, 2022.

Call for Board Members

We are seeking 5 dedicated volunteers to join our Board of Directors! Notably, we are looking to fill the role of President. A detailed notice can be found below.

If you, or someone you know, is interested in joining the Jessie Richardson Award Society Board of Directors, please email us at info@jessieawards.com with a brief (1-2 paragraph) expression of interest.

Town Hall Announcement

The Jessies Restructuring Committee would like to invite you to attend a virtual Town Hall: 

Monday, June 14th, 2021 from 6:30-8pm via Zoom.

COVID-19 Cancellation

2020/2021 Awards Season

APPLY TO BE A JESSIE AWARDS JURY MEMBER

The Board of the JESSIE RICHARDSON THEATRE AWARDS is excited to announce that we are preparing for a 2024-2025 Awards Season! We are looking for volunteers to join one of our four juries from September 2024 - September 2025. We are seeking a minimum of eight jury members each for Large Budget Theatre, Medium Budget Theatre, Small Budget Theatre, and Theatre for Young Audiences. As well we are seeking 5 members for the Script Reading jury. 

CALL FOR ADVISORY COMMITTEES

As part of our restructuring, the board, along with our former advisory committee, have created draft jury rubrics to be used for adjudication of productions.  We hope this will support evaluating productions fairly and give a guide for jurors to critically, openly and with curiosity view shows.
