This is where we stick categories and awards that don't fit nicely into our chart. For instance, it's impossible to shoehorn the Obie and Theatre World Awards into the charts as they exist. Some of these awards don't have nominations and winners, per se, just winners. So that's what you'll find below.


ASTAIRE AWARD (THEATRE DEVELOPMENT FUND)

Best Female Dancer
Bebe Neuwirth and Anne Reinking

Best Choreographer
Anne Reinking


GENIE AWARDS

Presented by The Genesius Guild for "ground-breaking work" in theatre.

Alice Ripley and Emily Skinner, Side Show
Douglas Carter Beane, artistic director of The Drama Dept.
Director Julie Taymor and the cast of The Lion King


PULITZER PRIZE FOR DRAMA

Paula Vogel, How I Learned to Drive
Runners Up: Richard Greenberg, Three Days of Rain; and Amy Freed, Freedomland

Also note that after 66 years what was considered one of the greatest wrongdoings of Pulitzer Prize history has at last been righted. In 1932 the very first Pulitzer ever awarded to a musical was given to Of Thee I Sing, its playwrights, George S. Kaufman and Morrie Ryskind, and lyricist, Ira Gershwin, omitting its composer, George Gershwin. On April 14 a special Pulitzer was awarded George for "distinguished contribution to American music." Small consolation to the composer, though.
