Set of Scottish theatre awards
The Stage Awards for Acting Excellence are a set of
Scottish
theatre awards which were established in 1995 to recognise outstanding theatre performances by individuals and companies on the
Edinburgh Festival Fringe .
Organised by the theatrical newspaper
The Stage , the initial award categories of Best Actor and Best Actress were joined by a Best Ensemble award in 1998. In 2006, an award for Best Solo Show was given for the first time.

Award winners are chosen by a panel consisting of the newspaper's principal Fringe reviewers and are usually announced in a ceremony on the last Sunday of the Fringe Festival. There have been only two Joint Winners awarded, in 1998 and 1999.
