Categories include Scenic Design, Costume Design, Lighting Design and Notable Effects, which encompass "sound, music, video, puppetry and other creative elements." All nominated designs must have originated in productions within the U.S.
The Lincoln Center Theater production of The Coast of Utopia received eight nominations, the most for any production of the season past.
Originally titled the Maharam Awards and later known as the American Theatre Wing Design Awards, the awards were renamed in 1999 to honor founder Henry Hewes. The 43rd Annual Henry Hewes Awards — supported by the American Theatre Wing — will be presented at a luncheon Nov. 15.
The Henry Hewes Design Awards Committee included theatre critics Jeffrey Eric Jenkins, chair; David Barbour; Tish Dace; Michael Feingold; Glenda Frank; Mario Fratti; and Joan Ungaro.
