2016 - 2017 30th Annual Tiffany Awards

The Tiffany Performance Awards are named after the late Marion Tiffany, an actress, volunteer and charter member of Twin City Players. TCP members and pass holders nominate candidates to ten different categories, including leading actress, supporting actor, and more from the season’s six mainstage shows. A secret panel of judges selects each year's winners. Backstage and volunteer contributions also are recognized with various special awards.
