The Drama League presents awards in the following five categories: Outstanding Production of a Play, Outstanding Production of a Musical, Outstanding Revival of a Play, Outstanding Revival of a Musical and the Distinguished Performance Award.
The Drama League Awards are unusual in that they combine Broadway and Off-Broadway productions in the same categories, and allow more nominations in each category than most awards.
The Drama League also previously announced the 2015 recipients for Distinguished Contributions and Achievements in the Theatre: Joel Grey is the recipient of the Distinguished Achievement in Musical Theater Award; WNET: Neal Shapiro and David Horn are recipients of the Unique Contribution to the Theater Award for "their vital work in bringing New York theater to viewers across America"; and Stephen Daldry is the recipient of The Founders Award for Excellence in Directing.
