BEST LOCAL ACTOR
ROBERT LEE SIMMONS
A repeat winner. Everybody who produces plays in Charlotte would love to lure Robert Lee Simmons into their next show. Whether hes terrorizing the Irish at Actors Theatre in The Lieutenant of Inishmore, thrilling the demure Lizzie as Starbuck in The Rainmaker at CP, or intimidating trailer trash in the title role of Killer Joe at his own Carolina Actors Studio Theatre, Simmons is consistently larger-than-life and twice as much fun.
