*The shortlist for the technical categories (Choreography, Costume Design, Direction, Graphic Design, Lighting Design, Musical Direction, Set Design, Sound Design and Video Design) will be decided by an independent panel of industry experts appointed by WhatsOnStage. Their shortlist will then be voted on by the general public.

ABTT Christmas Party
The ABTT Christmas Party, generously supported by ETC and LW Theatres, was held at the Gillian Lynne Theatre today – and what a turn out we had! With over 200 Members dropping in throughout the day, we had a wonderful time catching up with old friends and colleagues.
We would like to thank all the Affiliates, Associates, Members, Supporters, Fellows and friends who came to celebrate and join the festivities. We hope you all enjoyed yourselves too!
During the Party two announcements were made. Steve Tompkins was presented with a Fellowship Certificate by Ian Mackintosh for his tireless efforts within the Industry and Louise Jeffreys was presented with an Honorary Membership Certificate by Mark White for her significant contribution to the ABTT during her time as ABTT Chairwoman.
