Actors Christopher Ravenscroft and Christopher Villiers made it a double triumph for Bolton's Octagon.
Ravenscroft, who appeared in The Winslow Boy, at the theatre, won Best Actor while Villiers won best supporting actor for his role in the same play.
Both were the headline winners at the Manchester Theatre Awards which are the largest of their kind outside London.
The glittery ceremony was staged at the Opera House and the nominees were a mixture of the region's big theatres and Greater Manchester's smaller venues.
The awards are chosen by a panel of nine independent regional theatre critics.
