As previously reported, the winners of the 65th annual Drama Desk Awards will be announced on NY1’s On Stage May 31 at 7:30 PM ET. The awards special, in lieu of a traditional ceremony due to the ongoing pandemic, will also stream on NY1.com and DramaDeskAwards.com.
Founded in 1955, the Drama Desk Awards are voted on and bestowed by theatre critics, journalists, editors, publishers, and broadcasters covering theatre and recognize work from Broadway, Off-Broadway, and Off-Off-Broadway productions.
In honor of the upcoming awards, Playbill looks back at the last 10 years of Drama Desks. We began with 2010–2014 in our Part One. Here, we celebrate the 2015–2019 ceremonies.
