From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Dora Mavor Moore Award for Best Featured Performer (General Theatre) is an annual Canadian theatre award, presented as part of the Dora Mavor Moore Awards to honour the year's best performance in a featured supporting role in a stage production in the Toronto theatre market.

At the first awards in 1980, a single ungendered category was presented, with two winners. The following year, separate awards were presented for actors and actresses until 1992.
