Premios Pinti: Nominees announced for Argentina's top commercial theater awards ceremony at Colón

Argentina's commercial theater community is set to launch the Premios Pinti, a new award recognizing excellence in the performing arts. The initiative, driven by the Argentine Association of Theatrical and Musical Entrepreneurs (AADET), aims to celebrate the best of the Argentine commercial theater season.

The inaugural award ceremony is scheduled for Monday, July 27, at the prestigious Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires. The event will be broadcast live on El Trece and hosted by Agustín "Rada" Aristarán. A jury of 25 distinguished personalities will select the winners across 19 categories, plus special honors, for the 2025-2026 season.

Esteemed figures Moria Casán and Guillermo Francella are slated to receive honorary awards for Best Actress and Actor in a Leading Role, respectively. Carlos Rottemberg will also be honored for his contributions to production. The awards are named in tribute to Enrique Pinti, a highly influential figure in Argentine theater history.

AADET intends for the Premios Pinti to become an annual fixture, fostering recognition for artists, directors, playwrights, producers, and creative teams. The initiative also seeks to attract new audiences to the theater. Nominations for the first edition span various genres, including best comedy, drama, musical, and solo performances, featuring a wide array of talent from the recent theater seasons.
