| All last season, Washington was awash in fine theater. Hundreds of artists took on thousands of tasks, large and small, designed to bring great classics and challenging new works to life. They did so, in most cases, with great skill and for disproportionately little money, knowing as they do, the stage artist’s secret: that good work, in and of itself, brings great reward.
Next Monday, April 16th, Washington’s theatre community will gather for the Helen Hayes Awards Ceremony. Broadway star Jason Kravits will host a Nick Olcott-written, Daniel MacLean Wagner-designed, and Karma Camp-directed extravaganza, in which Sir Derek Jacobi, and Marvin Hamlisch, among others, will help to honor Washington’s extraordinary artists. |
