Drama Desk Awards 2004

In our continued partnership, the Drama Desk Awards ceremony will again be webcast live by TheaterMania.com. Watch it live on May 16th!

The 49TH ANNUAL DRAMA DESK AWARDS, celebrating excellence in all sectors of New York’s theatre world will be held on Sunday, May 16, 2004 from 9:00pm – 11:00pm at the Concert Hall at Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts at Lincoln Center (the “Fame” School).

Over the last fifty years, the prestige of the Drama Desk Awards has helped launch the careers of many major stars and playwrights. The first award that Andrew Lloyd Webber received in American theatre was from the Drama Desk as “Most Promising Composer.” Drama Desk was also the first awards show to recognize such talents as Edward Albee, Wendy Wasserstein, George C. Scott, Stacy Keach, and Sada Thompson. Dustin Hoffman signed onto The Graduate only days after receiving his 1966 award. Plays like Driving Miss Daisy, Other People’s Money, Steel Magnolias, and The Boys in the Band, all Off-Broadway productions, gained their reputations and built momentum to achieve worldwide success as a result of their Drama Desk wins. Every year many high-profile film, television, and stage stars attend the Drama Desk Awards as past winners, presenters, or current nominees.
