context_page_description: The Stage Awards are theatre awards created by The Stage to recognise and celebrate theatrical achievements across the UK and internationally. Established in 2011, the awards recognise accomplishments by West End theatres, regional theatre, fringe theatres, producers, drama schools and more. The awards ceremony is held annually on the final Friday of January at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, London.
  Notable winners include Sonia Friedman, who won the Producer of the Year award three times in a row between 2015 and 2017, and Sheffield Theatres which has won Regional Theatre of the Year three times in 2013, 2014 and 2017.
  Originally known as The Stage 100 Awards, the ceremony was held at The Stage's New Year Party and set out to recognise parts of the theatre industry which weren't recognised at other awards.
