First awarded in 1922 and formalized in 1935, The Drama League Awards are the oldest theatrical honors in America. They are the only major theatre-goer awards chosen by audience members – specifically, by the thousands of Drama League members nationwide who attend Broadway and Off-Broadway productions. Voting for members is now open.
