The Drama League has announced that the 81st Annual Drama League Awards Ceremony will take place on May 15 in the Broadway Ballroom at Time's Square's Marriott Marquis Hotel. Tickets for the event include pre-event cocktails and the afternoon luncheon ceremony.
The event will end a monthlong celebration which begins with the 2015 eligibility cutoff date on April 19 followed by the nominee announcement for Distinguished Play, Distinguished Revival of a Play, Distinguished Musical, Distinguished Revival of a Musical, and Distinguished Performance Award on April 21 at the beloved Broadway eatery Sardi's. The Nominee Announcement Ceremony will be hosted by National Life Group, a longstanding Drama League partner and supporter of the arts.
The Drama League Awards were first awarded in 1922 and formalized in 1935. They are described as the only major theatergoer awards chosen by audience members. Those audience members are Drama League members nationwide who attend Broadway and off-Broadway productions.
The Drama League is an organization that is "dedicated to creating transformative interactions between artists and audiences…above and beyond the performances they experience." They aim to help with the development of artists and to improve the quality of new work for the stage.
