Bill Berloni to Receive Special Recognition from Drama League

The Drama League will honor Connecticut's Bill Berloni as one of two outstanding stage luminaries at this year’s 83rd annual Drama League Awards Friday May 19 at the Marriott Marquis Times Square.

Berloni will receive the Unique Contribution to the Theater Award and Michael Greif, represented this season on Broadway by Dear Evan Hansen and War Paint, will receive The Founders Award for Excellence in Directing. A third honoree for Distinguished Achievement in Musical Theater will be announced shortly.

These Special Recognition Honors are in addition to the five competitive categories. The 2017 Drama League Nominees for Outstanding Play, Outstanding Revival of a Play, Outstanding Musical, Outstanding Revival of a Musical, and the much-coveted Distinguished Performance Award will be announced on Wednesday, April 19 at 11 am (watch the live stream via BroadwayWorld.com). 

Berloni, trainer to many of theater's pet stars, received a 2011 Tony® for Excellence in Theatre and 2014 Outer Critics Circle award for Special Achievement. For more information, visit www.theatricalanimals.com. For a feature on Bill on the CT Arts Connection, click here.
