Outstanding
Ensemble Performance
This year the nominators chose to bestow a
special ensemble award for acting to
the cast of Sweet and Sad. Jon
DeVries, Shuler Hensley, Maryann Plunkett, Laila
Robins, Jay O. Sanders, and J.
Smith-Cameron are among New York's best actors,
who came together as one unforgettable
stage family. Therefore, the individual cast
members were not eligible for acting
awards in the competitive categories.
Special Awards
Each year, the Drama Desk votes special
awards to recognize excellence and
significant contributions to the theater.
For 2011-2012, these awards are:
• To Mary Testa: For over three decades,
she has dazzled audiences with
consistently outstanding work, including
her tour-de-force performance in this
season's Queen of the Mist.
• To Nick Westrate: His versatility in Unnatural
Acts, Love's Labor's Lost, and
Galileo was a highlight of the
season.
• To New Victory Theatre: For providing
enchanting, sophisticated children's
theater that appeals to the child in all
of us, and for nurturing a love of theater in
young people.
• To Stephen Karam, the newly created Sam
Norkin Off Broadway Award: The
profoundly moving Sons of the
Prophet confirmed his status as one of the most
promising playwrights of his generation.
The following are the nominations for the
competitive categories. Winners will be
selected by the voting membership of the
