The 90th Annual Drama League Awards!
90 years never looked so young! The 90th Annual Drama League Awards will return to the Ziegfeld Ballroom on May 17, 2024. One of the most festive parties of the season, the audience will gather to bestow honors in seven categories: Outstanding Production of a Play and Musical, Outstanding Revival of a Play and Musical, Outstanding Direction of a Play and Musical, and the Distinguished Performance Award, the oldest theatrical honor in the United States.
DirectorFest
For four decades, The Drama League has celebrated the world’s greatest rising directors in this one-of-a-kind festival. Now, in collaboration with the producers Keen Company, we are excited to welcome you into the vivid imaginations of Nadia Guevara and Ibi Owolabi The Drama League’s Stage Directing Fellows, who follow in the tradition by staging works by two of America’s most acclaimed playwrights Lynn Nottage and Cassandra Medley. Join us for the exciting debut of two major new talents in the American theater!
The Directors Project 2024 Cohort!
Every season, The Drama League selects exceptional directors from hundreds of applicants across theater, film, and television to participate in The Directors Project. This suite of Fellowships, Residencies, Exchanges, and Assistantships is designed to enhance their artistic expression, advance their careers, and foster their development. This year, we’ve introduced a new program, the Film Fund, to further support our participants. The current cohort joins over 400 Directors Project alumni who are thriving in Broadway, Hollywood, and various creative industries. Our programs prioritize production opportunities, financial stability, personal well-being, and comprehensive resources.
