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.

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.
