In 2025, The King Black Box was honoured across major year-end Toronto theatre lists. The company was cited by Ilana Lucas in BroadwayWorld’s Top Toronto Theatre 2025, and further recognized when BUG was named one of Glenn Sumi’s Top 10 Toronto Theatre Productions of 2025, with Nicholas Eddie celebrated for his performance in BUG as one of Glenn Sumi’s Top 10 Toronto Theatre Artists of 2025.

 

The King Black Box was also named by Sesaya Arts in their list of Theatre Companies That Caught Our Attention, noting that “what production designer Sophie Ann Rooney immersively conjures in that tiny space is consistently remarkable and surprising every single time.”
