Created in 1994, The Barrymore Awards for Excellence in Theatre are the Greater Philadelphia region's only comprehensive theatre awards program, recognizing artists for excellence and innovation while serving to increase awareness of the richness of the local theatre community. The Barrymore Awards are a nationally recognized symbol of excellence for theatre in this region, raising the bar for the work produced by local theatres and individual artists, and generating significant coverage in all the local newspapers and in national trade publications. Each year, over 120 shows produced by the region's professional theatres are reviewed by the Barrymore Voters. At the annual awards presentation each fall, the Barrymore Awards are presented to honor the community’s collective achievement.  

Preceded by a 6:00 PM Red Carpet event, the ceremony, beginning promptly at 7:00 PM will be held at the Walnut Street Theatre, and followed by a gala reception at the Ballroom at the Benjamin Franklin House.
