The Mercury's "Another Best of List"

"[H]ere's a hastily assembled and by no means comprehensive list of personal highlights from the last year" in theatre. The Mercury, continued...

Alison Hallett's categories include "Best Balls," "Best Argument for the Ongoing Relevance of Theater," and, even, "Best Snacks."

What do you think? Any personal categories you'd like to add to the list?

Geez, I would think NW Classical's chocolates and beer (not necessarily together) would win "Best Snacks" hands down with most people.

Which one?

Or is this a collective award?
