The Ovation Awards are a Southern California award for excellence in theatre, established in 1989. They are given out by the Los Angeles Stage Alliance and are the only peer-judged theatre awards in Los Angeles.

Each year, in November, the Ovation Awards draw national attention to the quality and quantity of professional theatre in Los Angeles.
