DALRO Awards

From 1972 onwards the various existing theatre awards in Johannesburg and Pretoria were administered by DALRO. This was done at the suggestion of board member P.P.B.Breytenbach and accepted by the board. According to this decision all the awards would be made by means of a secret ballot among the theatre critics from the various newspapers in the region. The presentation of the awards take place at a midday luncheon. The first cermenony was held in November 1972. *** Among the awards made are the Johannesburg Repertory Society Award , the Stuart Leith Trophy ("Sammy"), the Computicket Award, the Anton de Waal Award, the Johannesburg Critics' Circle Award, the Johannesburgse Stadskouburg Toekenning (Johannesburg Civic Theatre Award"), the Scenaria Award, the Gallo Award, the Ivan Solomons Award, the Lilian Solomons Award, the Shirley Moss Award, the DALRO Golden Mask [By 2002/3 the DALRO Awards seemed to have been discontinued.*?] (For details see the individual awards.
