The Tom Killen Award
The establishment of the Tom Killen Memorial Award coincided with the birth of the Connecticut Critics Circle Awards. It was a tangible way for us, Tom's colleagues, to honor the memory of a fine young man and critic who died at the age of 33 in August 1989. The award is our most prestigious and is bestowed upon those who have made extraordinary contributions to Connecticut's Equity professional theater.

The Connecticut Critics Circle Awards
The Connecticut Critics Circle Awards were instituted to honor the actors, directors, designers and others who help make Connecticut theater so outstanding. Although we are near Broadway and the New York theater scene, Connecticut theater does not stand in New York's shadow. Who better than professional Connecticut critics, writers and broadcasters to bring recognition to those who labor so hard to make Connecticut theater what it is?
