SIGNATURE RECEIVES THE 2014
REGIONAL THEATRE TONY AWARD
This past June, Signature Theatre was honored with the 2014 Regional Theatre Tony Award.
The 2013-14 Season marked the first time that New York City-based theatre companies were
eligible to receive the significant award, which in the past has been awarded to non-profit
theatres across the country in recognition of artistic excellence. “Signature Theatre is
an integral part of the theater landscape,” said Charlotte St. Martin, executive director of
The Broadway League. “The company offers audiences an unmatched explorative
experience with the writer’s message across multiple bodies of work.“
At the June 8th ceremony at Radio City Music Hall, Founding Artistic Director
James Houghton and Executive Director Erika Mallin accepted the
Tony Award, thanking Signature’s alumni, trustees, staff, donors, and all 27
Playwrights-in-Residence. Houghton also acknowledged
the over 380 New York-based companies that make
up the Off- and Off-Off-Broadway theatre community.
It was a thrilling night for every member of the
Signature family, and a momentous acknowledgment
of the tremendous work and dedication of the
Signature community.
