The 2024 Drama League Awards, celebrating work on Broadway and off, will be held May 17 in Manhattan at the Ziegfeld Ballroom.
To be eligible for nomination, productions must open by April 20. Nominations for this year's awards will be revealed April 22 at 10 AM ET at the New York Library for the Performing Arts.
The Drama League Awards are among the oldest theatrical honors in
America, having been first presented in 1922 and subsequently formalized
in 1935. It recognizes work playing Broadway and Off-Broadway. The
awards are determined by Drama League members, a group that
includes award-winning actors, designers, directors, playwrights,
producers, industry veterans, critics, and dedicated audiences from
across the nation.
The ceremony culminates in the presentation of the Distinguished
Performance Award, which goes to one artist a year and can only be won
once in an artist’s lifetime. Recent winners have included Annaleigh Ashford for Sweeney Todd, Glenda
Jackson for Three Tall Women, Ben Platt for Dear Evan Hansen, and Lin-Manuel Miranda for Hamilton.
