The 2023 Out of the Limelight Awards

Congratulations to the recipients

Every second year, The Arts Foundation facilitate the Out of the Limelight Theatre Awards to acknowledge dedicated theatre practitioners without whom most theatre productions could not take place – yet who rarely get the sort of recognition that is given to playwrights, directors, and actors.

Each recipient is notified out of blue; and gifted $5,000 in recognition of the deep appreciation others have for their work.

Huge congratulations to the 2023 recipients: 

• Vanessa Immink – Theatre Producer 

• John Gibson – Musical Director, Auckland Theatre Company

• Helena-Jane (H-J) Kilkelly – Theatre Producer 

• Giles Tanner – Head Technician, The Court Theatre 

• Alister McDonald – Dramaturg and Archivist
