55th ANNUAL DRAMA DESK AWARDS:

2010 was a banner year for The Drama Desk, which played host to a staggering number of theatre, film & television luminaries. Actor turned filmmaker Michael Stever takes you behind the scenes and shows you the intimate, ruckus & off the wall antics highlighting this years biggest theatrical event to date!

At the time of the Drama Desk's founding, the only major awards honoring New York theater's creative men and women were the Antoinette Perry Awards, better known as "The Tonys®". These awards only celebrate those productions produced in Broadway theaters, while ignoring the hundreds of stage productions presented each year Off-Broadway, Off-Off-Broadway, and in legitimate not-for-profit theaters. Since Drama Desk members cover not only Broadway productions, but all New York theatre productions, the organization decided in 1955 to create its own awards celebrating creative stage achievements wherever they were presented.
