In 1955 Drama Desk became the first major organization to honor Outstanding Achievement Off-Broadway with the Vernon Rice Awards, named for the late New York Post critic who first championed Off-Broadway theater coverage.

Drama Desk, celebrating their 58th continuous Awards show in May, 2013, is the only Award ever to honor Broadway, Off-Broadway and Off-Off Broadway equally in every award category. Isa Goldberg is the current President of Drama Desk.
