In addition, Tony Walton will receive the first Robert L.B. Tobin Award for Lifetime Achievement in Theatrical Design, designated for presentation to "an artist whose mastery of his or her craft as exemplified through his or her body of work in one or more disciplines of theatrical design (costume, settings, lighting, sound) has become an inspiration to all designers."

The awards will be presented on Friday, March 26 in a ceremony at the Hudson Theatre.
