The yearly awards—which were first presented in 1955—“are the only whose nominations honor Broadway, Off-Broadway, Off-Off Broadway and not-for-profit theater productions equally in multiple categories. The Drama Desk membership includes over 140 voting theater critics, reporters and editors,” according to a press release. For a full list of this year’s winners, click here.
