Eastern Massachusetts Association of Community Theatres

The Massasoit Theatre Company is a member of the Eastern Massachusetts Association of Community Theatres (EMACT). Each year EMACT hosts a Distinguished Awards and Special Honors Program, a competitive, peer-adjudicated awards competition. EMACT member groups apply for any of their in-season productions (musical or play) to be considered for the Distinguished Awards program. Two different performances of the production are attended by two individuals from a pool of more than 20 trained and knowledgeable theater consultants, who then score the production in a number of categories. Scores are tallied at the end of the season, and the six top-scoring shows in each category receive nominations.
