A nervous but anticipatory energy fills the air just before 8pm on May 27, 2011. One could feel the excitement of those young and old waiting for the Rose Theatre Studio doors to open to the 10th annual Bravo! Awards. 
Executive Director Marnie Richards welcomed the audience and nominees to the celebration, introducing Bravo’s MC’s and adjudicators: Susan Bourne, Trevor Copp and Jason Saunders. Our city’s fair councillor Sandra Hames read a small encouraging address to attendees.Then in a special presentation and pleasant surprise, Richards thanked adjudicator Ron Cameron-Lewis for his long-time service to the BAC by bestowing a framed Derek Wicks’ print “Fleeting Heritage”.
Then it was time to consume the meat of any award ceremony, handing out the awards and recognizing nominees. We were honoured to have Brandon Moore (Theatre Ontario), Warren Garrett (CCI – Ontario Presenting Network), and Aaron Bloom, brother of the late David Bloom, presenting awards to the enthusiastic crowd.For a list of nominees and winners, visit our website or click here.
After the ceremony, nominees, winners and audience members relaxed and gathered in the lobby of the Rose enjoying the delicious hors d'œuvres, tea and coffee served hot from Catering by Gregory’s while taking pictures and chatting amongst each other.
