Comments: SLOC has scored high marks once again with their musical review of the early works of Stephen Sondheim. This company consistently produces musical theatre at a level of excellence not routinely seen in the state. The direction and overall production value of this piece was truly noteworthy and a very strong cast with a number of exceptional performers made this an engaging and profoundly entertaining musical theatre experience.

There are three (3) separate categories of Merit Awards as follows:
"Outstanding" - To be issued to the whole or part of the whole of a theatrical event or production of a superlative quality rarely witnessed or experienced by the adjudicator.
