An annual celebration of Toronto’s independent theatre scene, The Harold Awards have for the last 19 years seen each year’s previous “Haroldees” name their successors, in a daisy chain of winners from each “house” that stretches back to the original 1995 winners. Over the years, the awards have evolved somewhat, and now include citations for emerging artists and partial funding by local theatre companies, but the spirit of the awards, named after a particularly passionate theatregoer (and heckler), remains playfully tongue-in-cheek. A ticket to the event includes a buffet—doors open at 7 p.m., and the ceremony will get underway at 7:30 p.m.
