Panelists praised Mark Halpin“™s “œbeautifully detailed, well designed, and functional“ set. The ensemble cast “œshowed mature, deep understand of their characters, from leads to walk-ons“; “œthis was an ensemble delight“¦with strong and lively performances.“
Final LCT awards will be determined at the end of the season and announced at the LCT gala in the spring.
