TrueTheatergoer has awarded Quotidian Theatre Company $10,000 and The Keegan Theatre $5,000 because their audiences wrote and submitted the most reviews this past year to TrueTheatergoer.
“Quotidian and Keegan are excellent examples of theaters with fine management who put on quality productions which are so recognized by their patrons. Both are very deserving of these awards which reflect their efforts to broaden the base of theatergoers in the Washington, DC community,” says TrueTheatergoer’s co-founder John Hauge.

“My brother Stephen and I created the TrueTheatergoer.com website in October 2011 to promote theater in Washington, DC and on Broadway by providing an enriching collection of information on current shows and composite audience reviews and ratings of these shows. Our hope is to further develop a community excited about theater and willing to write short comments of shows so others can benefit from their experiences.”
TrueTheatergoer also awards its readers every month when they award the reader who contributes the most reviews that month a gift certificate for $100 worth of theatre tickets. And that could be you! So after seeing a show, don’t forget to review your show on TrueTheatergoer.com.
