The event, which begins at noon, pays tribute to the season's best performers by including the nominees of The Distinguished Performance Award on a dais. The dais will feature more than 50 stars from the 2010-11 Broadway and Off-Broadway season.

In addition to The Distinguished Performance Award, The Drama League's 3,000 members vote on four other annual competitive awards: Distinguished Production of a Play, Distinguished Production of a Musical, Distinguished Revival of a Play and Distinguished Revival of a Musical.

Nominations for these five awards will be announced April 25.
