When the Joseph Jefferson Awards Committee first announced their non-Equity nominees for excellence in Chicago theatre, the Hypocrites and their production of All Our Tragic, an adaptation of 32 Greek tragedies into one epic 12-hour work, showed up all over the lists. But then Hypocrites artistic director Sean Graney discovered that the company had been working under an Equity "CAT-N" contract during the important period, making All Our Tragic ineligible for the non-Equity part of the Jeff Awards. Graney self-reported and the nominations were rescinded, with other nominees taking the slots in some categories.
And that is why there is now a new list of non-Equity nominees for the 2015 Jeff Awards. Because All Our Tragic was so well-received, with some critics even touting it for the Pulitzer Prize, there are high hopes the production will now make an appearance when the Equity Jeff nominations are announced.
But in the meantime, these are the artists and productions vying for the non-Equity Jeffs, which will be handed out in a ceremony held at Park West, 322 West Armitage Avenue in Chicago, on Monday, June 8:
