And a younger theater company, The Front Porch Arts Collective, often a co-producer on many of their works, was also saluted for making its mark on Boston’s theater scene.
WBUR critic at large Ed Siegel recalled how her performances as Madame Armfeldt in “A Little Night Music” symbolized everything that Steinbach delivers: “She was wise, wry, witty, empathetic, compassionate, irreverent, laugh out loud funny and literally drop-dead tragic, at least in terms of the character.”Ī few organizations, such as The Huntington Theatre Company and SpeakEasy Stage Company, dominated this year (often with multiple productions in the same category). Steinbach is a long-time actor, director, and acting coach, who has helmed or starred in numerous highly-regarded plays and musicals throughout the Boston area and beyond. On Monday night, the Boston Theater Critics Association’s Elliot Norton Awards celebrated the work of this community with more than 130 nominations in more than two dozen categories and awarded the Elliot Norton Prize for Sustained Excellence to Bobbie Steinbach.

Shuttered doors due to the pandemic and a slow, often disrupted return to the stage have fostered a challenging environment. It’s been a long three years for the theater industry.
