Bashor was recognized for her Broadway debut in the recent The Bridges of Madison County, in which she played dual roles and also understudied Kelli O’Hara. Boyer was cited for his performance in Off-Broadway’s Hand to God, presented by MCC Theater at the Lucille Lortel Theatre following a run at the Ensemble Studio Theatre. He also received a Lucille Lortel Award for this performance.

The awards — a check and a crystal trophy — are presented at Equity’s Eastern Regional Board meeting at the Equity offices.

The Derwent Award is the oldest award on Broadway, established in 1945 by Clarence Derwent, actor and president of Equity from 1946-1952. Past recipients include Nina Arianda, Annette Bening, Kristin Chenoweth, Morgan Freeman, Allison Janney, Frances Sternhagen, Christopher Walken, Fritz Weaver and, in 2013, Annaleigh Ashford and Michael Urie.

The judges’ panel included Joe Dziemianowicz, Daily News; Adam Feldman, Time Out New York; Susan Haskins, Theater Talk; Harry Haun, Playbill; and David Rosenberg, The Hour Newspapers.
