Because of Broadway going dark at the start of the Covid pandemic and the fact that many shows opened only recently, CSA created a new Artios category dubbed Virtual Theater. It celebrates the perseverance of the Broadway community to bring this form of the theater experience to the public in 2020-21
Since 1985, the Artios Awards have honored casting directors in film, TV and theater. Nominees and winners are voted on by members of the Casting Society of America, which is marking its 40th year. Special honorees, which are selected for their contributions to the craft, will be revealed in the coming weeks.
