The mission of the Orley Awards is to promote, uplift, and recognize the outstanding work of theatrical artists in the greater Albuquerque area.

 

Named in honor of Ray Orley, the founder of the Albuquerque Theatre Guild. Our judges are comprised of 21 ATG guild members, individual members, and members associated with theatres in town. Adhering to an agreed set of criteria and nomination rules to remain equitable and impartial, our judges aim to see every show in town and ensure that we recognize and encourage the growth of theatre, dance, and opera in Albuquerque.
