MetroStage Receives the 2005 Alex Award

MetroStage was honored by the Alexandria Commission for the Arts recently and received the 2005 Alex Award for Excellence in an Artistic Discipline. The ceremony was held at the Rachel M. Schlesinger Concert Hall and Arts Center on the Northern Virginia Community College, Alexandria Campus. The history of the Alex Awards goes back to 1985 when the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce sponsored the Awards program. MetroStage (under the name American Showcase Theatre Company, Inc) received the Award in 1989 and again in 1995 when the Alexandria Arts Forum took over the administration of the Award.
