The h.Club100 is a list that celebrates individuals' contributions to the British creative and media industries over the preceding year.
Sponsored by Target Live, the list seeks to recognise "recent creative excellence" rather than celebrity or reputation and incorporates a wide range of categories including film, music and fashion.
In the theatre category the shortlist covers directors, artistic directors, actors, writers and designers and the public can vote at www.thehospitalclub.com until 28 October.
The final 100 will be announced on the 12th November.
