The Lucille Lortel Awards, which honor the Off Broadway community, is going forward with the presentation on a virtual platform. The awards are presented under the aegis of The Off-Broadway League and the Lucille Lortel Theatre Foundation, which moved to offer shows affected by closure as much flexibility as possible. Shows that opened after February 16 were given the option to be considered as part of either the Lortel Awards’ 2020 or 2021 season.
The revised schedule for the 35th Annual Lucille Lortel Awards for Outstanding Achievement Off-Broadway is as follows: nominations will be announced on April 14, and the ceremony will be presented virtually as an online event on Sunday, May 3 at 7 pm. More details about the virtual ceremony will be announced in the near future.
“We hope putting on another fun Lortel Awards show as planned will offer the theatre community and fans some much-needed entertainment at this time,” said George Forbes, Executive Director of the Lucille Lortel Theatre Foundation. “This is a great opportunity to celebrate the industry and remind everyone of the tremendous work being done Off-Broadway, and that we will always persevere.”
