Themed Entertainment Association Thea Awards
The TEA is pleased to announce the 2002 Thea Awards for Outstanding
Achievement. The Awards will be presented September 28, 2002 at the
world famous El Capitan Theater in Hollywood, California. Tickets may
be
purchased in advance by calling TEA at 818-843-8497.
Over the next few months, we will be gathering and making public the
lists of credits for the projects acknowledged this year. Our hope in
doing this is to allow our membership (and non-members as well) to know
who contributed to these examples of outstanding achievements and to
verify the accuracy of the listed credits. TEA has no authority to
arbitrate or regulate the credits, which will be provided by the
project
owners.
