Dear theatre community!
The Drammys are almost here! And as most of you move into your holiday weekend, we committee members are gearing up for our BIG IMPORTANT meeting on Memorial Day Monday, our D-Day (and our follow up review on Wednesday evening). We have seen a lot of shows, and we have internally nominated many wonderful performances, productions, design elements etc throughout the year. We will be publishing lists of finalists here in this news feed, and ultimately on our home page. We hope to do so here, barring unforeseen circumstances, by the morning of May 29. I HAVE GOOSEBUMPS AT THE VERY THOUGHT!
We have a voting system that is mathematically vetted, and anonymous. We will be doing our very, very best. But whatever the outcome, we thank and congratulate everyone involved in this year of amazing theatre. We are so honored and privileged to be a small part of what you do.
Here, for ease, is the list of all shows considered this year. Remember that a show must have CLOSED by May 18, 2014, to be included. Shows still running (or still to open) after that date will be considered next year!
Keep watching this space! This is SO EXCITING I can hardly breathe!
