The Drama Desk Awards Debuts New Statuette Design

3/4/2020 3:05pm


In celebration of its 65-year legacy, the Drama Desk Awards is debuting a new statuette, to be formally presented at the annual ceremony on Sun May 31 at The Town Hall.  The custom-designed award brings distinctive new life to the iconic Drama Desk quill image, which represents the theater writers, critics and journalists who make up the Drama Desk organization and vote on the awards each year. The statuettes will stand 10-and-a-half inches tall, and feature the quill image, with subtle comedy and tragedy drama masks cleverly cut into the sides, standing on an inkwell base. The statuette was designed in partnership with the team at Society Awards. Visit the Drama Desk Awards website for more information. Matt Britten, Broadway Brands CEO, will serve as executive producer and Joey Parnes Productions will produce the ceremony. Founded in 1955, the Drama Desk Awards honor outstanding achievement by professional theater artists on Broadway, Off-Broadway, and Off-Off-Broadway. The Drama Desk Awards are voted on and bestowed by theater critics, journalists, editors, publishers and broadcasters covering theater.
