For the second year in a row, Pawtucket's Sandra Feinstein-Gamm Theatre has picked up an Elliot Norton award, this time for its January production of Awake and Sing!, Clifford Odets' Depression-era drama about a family struggling to survive. The award was given for outstanding production by a small theater.

At the same time, an outstanding actor award for a large company was bestowed on Trinity Rep's Fred Sullivan Jr. for his work in Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit and for a performance of Much Ado About Nothing at Boston's Free Shakespeare at the Citi Performing Arts Center. Sullivan also directed Awake and Sing!

The awards, presented by the Boston Theatre Critics Association in honor of longtime Boston theatre criitc Elliot Norton, who died in 2003 at the age of 100, took place Monday night at Harvard's Sanders Theatre.

Last year, the Gamm and playwright Paul Grellong, a Brown University grad, won a Norton award for Grellong's Radio Free Emerson, a Rhode Island-based play about a manipulative radio talk show host.
