ABOUT THE LHAT AWARDS PROGRAM

The LHAT Annual Awards Program was designed to recognize outstanding work in the field of historic theatre preservation and operation and to recognize exemplary individuals and projects that best exemplify the League's mission to rescue, restore, reuse and sustain historic theatres. There are two Annual awards:

The Outstanding Historic Theatre Award is designed to recognize a historic theatre that demonstrates the highest standards of excellence in its vision, execution and service to its community. Specifically the award recognizes an operating theatre's distinction of accomplishment, impact of its programs and services, and the quality of the physical renovation, restoration, or addition.

Outstanding Individual Contribution Award. Understanding that historic theatres are preserved and sustained through the remarkable efforts and generosity of individuals, this award is designed to recognize such accomplishments in the field of historic theatres. This award recognizes outstanding individual contribution to the preservation, restoration or management of historic theatres while establishing recognizable standards of excellent behavior for others in the field to emulate. An individual receiving this award will have consistently demonstrated vision, dedication, selflessness, and excellence through his or her contribution to the field of historic theatres.
