Theatre World Awards Winners Announced 5/10

Winners of the 2011 Theatre World Awards, which honors debut New York theatre performances, will be announced May 10 at noon. Additionally the Dorothy Loudon Award for Excellence and the Lunt-Fontanne Award for Ensemble Excellence will be announced. A ceremony will be held on June 7.

The Theatre World Award remains the oldest award given for a debut theatre performance On or Off-Broadway.

The contribution this Award has made to the theatre is incalculable. It is not a competition and is only given once. Because it is given for a debut performance, it encourages and inspires newcomers to the stage to continue to pursue their dream. It is freely given at a time when encouragement is so necessary in an industry known more for rejection than reception.

The Theatre World Award winners are chosen by the Theatre World Awards committee, which is comprised of David Cote (Time Out New York, NY1), Joe Dziemianowicz (New York Daily News), Peter Filichia (Newark Star-Ledger, Theatermania.com), Harry Haun (Playbill), Matthew Murray (Talkin' Broadway), Frank Scheck (The Hollywood Reporter), and Linda Winer (Newsday).
