@ourkidmanc @OurKid16 Please see our web site for the current position regarding the awards.

[David Chadderton @djchadderton]

Very sad indeed. A colleague on the @MTAwards panel and someone with whom I enjoyed many a thoughtful and intelligent conversation in theatre foyers. Always smiling, always with a positive, encouraging word about theatre and its creators. Will be greatly missed.

[Clare Brennan @ClareMBrennan]

@northernluke Dissing regional theatre? Good actors/directors don't do that. @CushJumbo, picking up a gong @MTAwards 2014 for best actress in A Doll’s House, spoke of importance of @rxtheatre to her career and speculated that too many London actors “don’t have the balls” to play the regions

The Manchester Theatre Awards (@MTAwards) are to end after 37 years, with organisers blaming the loss of crucial advertising revenue from the city’s venues. https://t.co/uU9sEzCZra

.@dannymaconline, whose character Bob Wallace delivers the musical's titular and much-loved song, played the role of Joe Gillis in our production of @SunsetBlvdUK, for which he received the @MTAwards for Best Actor in a Visiting Production.

**URGENT** Due to unforeseen circumstances we have been left without a technician - We are looking for a sound and lighting technician for our production of Blue Remembered Hills which… https://t.co/wQewhTQzEg

These awards bridged the gap between professional and fringe theatre in Manchester. It's loss will be felt by the whole city 😔 @MTAwards

[The Culture Club | Arts & Culture @thiscultureclub]

@MTAwards This is so so sad. These awards celebrated performance at every level and were so important to our fringe scene.

[Kristy Stott @Kristobel]

And @MTAwards did this.

[Kristy Stott @Kristobel]

This is so sad. It's so important to recognise the scope and success of performance in the region - the big shows and the smaller fringe productions.

[Charlotte Keatley @ckeatley1]

@MTAwards @MTAwards honoured every level of theatre from grass roots to big starry events, in doing this recognised how vital fringe & newcomers are to future theatre, & how a city's culture is many layered. Can we keep this going in some form? It celebrated our diversity & unity.

[Clare Brennan @ClareMBrennan]

So sorry to see this news. @MTAwards offered great opportunity for theatre-makers and members of public to discover more about wide range of work presented in the area

[Lawrence Till @lawrencetill]

@MTAwards @MTAwards brings publicity to a wide range of work that might otherwise go unrecognised. Recognition is its own reward and creates enthusiasm to aim higher. It’s not (just) about gongs. It’s about visibility and nurturing talent.

[Kate Goerner @MsKate78]

What a shame. There will be a void in our city's calendar next March sadly.

[Hope Mill Theatre @hopemilltheatre]

Very sad to hear this news from @MTAwards We are honoured and grateful to have been acknowledged with a Special Achievement award last year. It is so important that our city has an awards ceremony that recognises productions & artists on every scale. We hope this is not the end.
