The nominees for the 2022 Theatre Tampa Bay Awards were announced on Sunday. Panels of volunteer judges make the decisions about who gets nominated and the public is invited to see the results live during TTB’s 2022 Awards Gala on Sun., Oct. 23, at the HCC Ybor Mainstage.

Standouts include Stageworks Theatre, which received a whopping 40 nominations, and the MVP’s in the acting categories: Nicole Jeannine Smith, who was nominated for her performances in three different shows, and two-show nominees Andresia Moseley and Matthew McGee.
