    Among the nominees are a husband and wife team, Jack and Rebecca Cunningham, who share a nomination for Outstanding Set Design for Mill Fire, which was produced by their daughter, Heather Cunningham. Three artists; Dan Bianchi, Michael Kramer and Qui Nguyen are each nominated for more than 1 production. And although most of the nominated productions have already closed, two of them, Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind and Elizabeth Rex continue to have performances in the new season. “To have done this amazing play to packed houses and then make the move to an Off-Broadway Premiere is a great experience. And now to be honored with two IT Award nominations is just the icing on the cake! The judges and audience votes have just been really terrific and the whole cast is incredibly pleased and excited for our August run at Center Stage” states Stephanie Barton-Farcas, Actor and Artistic Director, Elizabeth Rex produced by Nicu’s Spoon.
