Our dedication to excellence on stage extends beyond our productions. In 2008 we created The Company Theatre Award of Excellence and presented it to Gordon Pinsent celebrating his dedication to taking risks throughout his career. We welcomed over 150 leaders in the business, entertainment, and arts communities to our inaugural event. Co-hosts Seamus O’Reagan (Correspondant, CTV National News) and Allan Hawco (Co-Artistic Director, The Company Theatre) led the celebration of Mr. Pinsent’s accomplishments, in grand style, at the Windsor Arms Hotel. Now the award lives on in his name.
Past Award Winners:
2008 Gordon Pinsent
2009 Eric Peterson
2010 Jayne Eastwood
