This year we announced something a little bit special for emerging artists

the inaugural KXT Awards for Excellence in Writing & Directing.

The KXT Awards for Excellence for emerging artists are to acknowledge quality work on the KXT on Broadway stage by artists early in their careers. We’re not fans of theatre as a competitive sport. However we do believe that excellence should be recognised - and sometimes in our very fast moving sector, where we quickly jump from one miraculous triumph to the next, it’s important to take time to pause and to celebrate. The degree of difficulty independent artists have to manage to make their work is deserving of recognition.

For our first year we recognised 2 categories with an award for excellence in writing and an award for excellence in directing.

The Nominees for the 2023 KXT Award for excellence in writing:

JACOB PARKER for Dumb Kids

ERIC JIANG for Rhomboid

JOSEPHINE GAZARD for That’s What She Said

ERICA J BRENNAN for The Hero Leaves One Tooth

This year the Winner of the KXT Award for Excellence in Writing is JACOB PARKER, Dumb Kids
