Maltz Jupiter, GableStage, and Zoetic Stage Dominate the Carbonell Awards
The Carbonell Awards ceremony celebrated the arts community of South Florida on Monday evening.
In a tradition of honoring excellence in theater, the Carbonell Awards ceremony also recognized Mario Ernesto Sanchez, founder and Producing Artistic Director of Teatro Avante and the International Hispanic Theatre Festival of Miami, with the George Abbott Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Arts. The Ruth Foreman Award, which recognizes significant contributions to South Florida theater development by an individual or group, was awarded to Actors' Equity Association in honor of its 100 years of representing professional American stage actors and stage managers.
$1,000 scholarships were awarded to four South Florida students who are pursuing careers in theater or journalism. The recipients were: Sammi-Jack Martincak (Miami Dade County) from New World School of the Arts; Christian Frost (Broward County) from J.P. Taravella High School; Vanessa Contreras (Palm Beach County) from John L. Leonard High School; and Jade Zaroff (Palm Beach County) from West Boca Community High School.
