The Greater Austin Creative Alliance (GACA) has established a website for the B. Iden Payne Awards, the competitive nominating and selection process for stage productions for the September - August annual season. Members of the Creative Alliance vote in September on a nomination list established by the committee, and results are celebrated in October. Committee members are volunteers, GACA members from various branches of the arts. The Committee invites applications for vacancies that may occur at the opening of the stage season.

A note: for their production of The Fantasticks, UT alumni Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones reportedly were thinking of B. Iden Payne with their affectionate portray of Henry the old stage actor, an itinerant comic figure valiantly stiff in the joints and occasionally bewildered in his Shakespearian memories. UT celebrates the 50th anniversary of the play's first Off Broadway staging in October of this year.
