Reviewer Selection and Training Process

All theater veterans are encouraged to apply; however, NJACT reserves the right to decline any application if it feels the candidate does not demonstrate a sufficient breadth and depth of theater experience.  The process by which  NJACT Perry Award Reviewers are selected and trained follows:

• The Reviewer Candidate must complete a Reviewer Application and submit it together with a current theater resume.
• Once approved, the Candidate will be invited to attend reviewer training.  Reviewer training sessions are held several times each year at the discretion of NJACT.  Each session runs approximately one to two hours.  During the session, the Candidate will receive training and documentation on the rules, processes, and scoring criteria for reviewing shows.
  
• Once the Candidate has completed training, s/he is given access to the NJACT online reviewer scheduling system through which the Reviewer may schedule review appointments.
