The Boston Theater Critics Association (BTCA) has named Kathy St. George the recipient of the 2025 Elliot Norton Prize for Sustained Excellence. 

Special citations have also been awarded to the historic Boch Center Wang Theatre, Apollinaire Theatre Company, Greater Boston Stage Company, and Shit-Faced Shakespeare; and the 2025 Elliot Norton Arts Education Award will be presented to Rehearsal for Life and their flagship programs Urban Improv and the Freelance Players. 

St. George made her Broadway debut in Fiddler on the Roof in 1981, and was also part of the company of the musical's 1990 revival. She has appeared in numerous national tours and regional productions. This past year, St. George performed in the Boston area in shows including A Man of No Importance, A Christmas Carol, Urinetown, The Drowsy Chaperone, and more.

“We are now even more fiercely committed to championing our theatre artists who dramatize, vocalize, visualize, synthesize, act out, dance up a storm, and speak the unspoken about what it is to be human in this world in all of its glorious diversity," Joyce Kulhawik, president of BTCA, said in a statement. "This is what happens on stages every night all around Greater Boston. This is what we celebrate. This is what we need now more than ever."

The Elliot Norton Awards are presented annually by the BTCA to honor outstanding productions, directors, choreographers, designers, and performers in Greater Boston. Winners will be honored at a June 2 ceremony at The Huntington Theatre.
