Awards

2020 marks the 41st Annual Dora Mavor Awards, recognizing outstanding works of theatre, dance, and opera in Toronto. The awards, named for the pioneering Canadian actor, teacher, and director, were live-streamed on the Dora Awards YouTube Channel on the 29^th of July, followed by a lively Zoom dance party.

Staying with the online theme, the Dora organizers have asked for winner acceptance speeches to be posted on respective winners’ social media platform of choice with the hashtag #Doras2020speeches, with a few presented during the ceremony. Winner for Outstanding Performance in a Leading Role, General Theatre, Anand Rajaram claimed on Twitter that he “Didn’t think [he]’d win so didn’t finish a speech.” Others are expected to be posted in the time following the ceremony.

The live-streamed show—presented by the Toronto Alliance for the Performing Arts (TAPA), who organize the Dora Awards—featured guest MCs like Jean Yoon, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, Peggy Baker, and Ravi Jain. Many of those featured during the virtual ceremony spoke out in a public show of support for their BIPOC colleagues, many of whom have been coming forward in the recent weeks about racism in the theatre industry with movements like #InTheDressingRoom and the Stratford Festival’s YouTube-streamed panels Black Like Me and Ndo-Mshkawgaabwimi – We are all standing strong.

This year’s Dora Awards maintained a balance between celebratory humour and a realistic perspective of the current climate, encompassing the current uncertainty but hopefulness in the Toronto theatre scene as of late.

This post features the complete list of nominees in all divisions, including the Jon Kaplan Audience Choice Award and the Silver Ticket award. Winners for each award are denoted by bold text.
