Salute to the Producers:
Without producers, a play would be words on paper; actors, directors, and designers would have nowhere to work their art, and stages would be silent. Here’s to those producing companies who risk their resources and reputations for the love of a play.
The work honored in this year’s Helen Hayes Awards is thanks to these companies:

LOVE’S LABOR’S FOUND
Mon, Apr 16 - The wind blew in Lear-like gusts last night, but inside the Warner Theatre, the atmosphere at the 23rd annual Helen Hayes Awards suggested the title Love’s Labor’s Found. Sparked by the opening flourishes of Marvin Hamlisch at the piano, the warmly modest emceeing of DC actor Jason Kravits, now enjoying a Broadway run in The Drowsy Chaperone (and fondly remembered as the world’s most annoying District Attorney on "The Practice"), guest performer E. Faye Butler, and the surprise appearance of Lynn Redgrave, the crisply produced awards ceremony managed to hand out 27 awards in two hours and ten minutes, with the sold-out audience lustily cheering each nominee.

From the 2006 Helen Hayes Nominees
|
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.
