Each year, OffWestEnd hosts an awards ceremony where the winners of the Offies awards for plays, musicals, theatre for young people, opera, cabaret and IDEA (Immersive / Devised / Experiential / Atypical) are announced. In addition, winners of the People’s Vote and the OffFest are announced and the awardees for the OffComm for short runs are acknowledged.
This is a major event on the independent theatre calendar.
The 2023 Offies Awards Ceremony – the first live event since 2020 – took place in the Alexandra Palace Theatre from 3pm on Sunday 12 February 2023, and attracted an audience of nearly 750 – finalists, their friends and family, representatives of theatres, companies & PR agencies, as well as presenters and sponsors.
