The event will be held at the Westport Country Playhouse on June 23 beginning with a reception at 6:30 p.m. followed by the awards ceremony at 7:30 p.m., hosted by actor Jake Robards. The free event is open to the public and has over the last few years become a rare opportunity for theater lovers and leaders to gather together to socialize, reconnect and celebrate work of the past season. Armstrong, the front man for the rock group Green Day, supplied original Beatle-esque songs for “These Paper Bullets!” at Yale Repertory Theatre. http://articles.courant.com/2014-06-02/entertainment/hc-connecticut-critics-offer-nominations-special-awards-for-seasons-best-20140602_1_connecticut-repertory-theatre-darko-tresnjak-long-wharf-theatre

Todd Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 So they just give out awards for shamelessly plagiarizing The Beatles now? Well, it's not plagiarizing, the whole show is supposed to be the story of a band based off the story of the beatles. that's the whole point
Sauli Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 So they just give out awards for shamelessly plagiarizing The Beatles now? To be fair I like those Beatles rip-offs more than the Trilogy.

Anaïs. Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 To be fair I like those Beatles rip-offs more than the Trilogy. You have me there.
