David Patrick Kelly, currently appearing on Broadway in Once, and Ethan Lipton and his orchestra, seen earlier this season in No Place to Go, will perform at the 57th Annual Obie Awards ceremony, to be held at Webster Hall on Monday, May 21.

The Obies, founded by Jerry Tallmer in 1956, honor the best of Off Broadway and Off-Off Broadway. No nominations are announced publicly, and the informal categories awared can change from year to year. The Obies also present annual theater grants, which are announced live at the ceremony.
