Welcome to The Unauthorized Critics Circle's inaugural end-of-season celebration: the First Annual Critter Awards!

The Bertram Rutland Critter Awards for Excellence in Broadway Adjacent Podcasting, more commonly known as the Critters, recognizes excellence in once-live recorded theatre. The awards are presented by the Unauthorized Critics Circle at an annual ceremony in Midtown Manhattan (walk up required).

The Critter Awards are considered the highest Broadway Adjacent Theatre Related Podcasting honor. The awards were founded by theatre producer and director Brack Pendleton and are named after Bertram "Bertie" Rutland Critter, noted secretary of the Olde New York Lavender Society. The Critter forms the fifth spoke in the EGCOT, that is, someone who has won all five major annual American entertainment awards.

This year's ceremony, co-hosted by UNCC heads and charter members Joshua and Daniel, celebrates the end of their first theatrical season with celebrity guest stars, commercial breaks, and awards from such beloved categories as the She-Deserved-Better Award, The Fleet Award for Gay Representation, and The Īvø vâñ Hœvë Award for Most Concept.
