Murder, humor, mystery, orgies and incontinence: this year, theater at Rice has covered every theatrical base imaginable. From Egypt to the Ukraine to Putnam County, each college offered different and exciting shows for the entire campus to enjoy. Now, as we have done every year since 1980, the Thresher is pleased to present this year's Sammys to honor the very best of these productions and the people that have contributed to them. Nearly 400 of you voted in a close race (many of the winners won by single votes) for your fellow students who worked hard — and probably missed a few homework assignments —  to make you laugh, cry and think about life just a little bit ?differently.

Congratulations to all of this year's winners, runners-up and ?theater participants.
