										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 2015 <span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="http://dramadeskawards.com">Drama Desk Award</a></span> winners were announced recently, and among the crop are some deserving and talented actors.  The awards are presented annually to recognize excellence in New York theatre productions on Broadway, Off-Broadway, and Off-Off-Broadway, and are considered a significant theater distinction, second only to the Tony Awards. This year’s awards ceremony yielded big wins for three actors who are no stranger to <strong>Broadway Black</strong>.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="https://i0.wp.com/broadwayblack.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/k-todd-freeman.jpg"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-5369 size-thumbnail" src="https://i0.wp.com/broadwayblack.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/k-todd-freeman-150x150.jpg?resize=150%2C150" alt="k todd freeman" width="150" height="150" /></a><a style="color: #000000;" href="http://www.steppenwolf.org/watchlisten/program-articles/detail.aspx?id=98" target="_blank" rel="noopener">K. Todd Freeman</a></span> </strong>was awarded Outstanding Featured Actor in a Play for <span style="color: #ff0000;"><em><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="http://www.steppenwolf.org/Plays-Events/productions/?id=623">Airline Highway</a></em></span>, in which he plays Sissy Nana, a den mother of sorts to a group of ragtag characters of the Hummingbird Hotel; his performance was described as having “vibrant comic panache” by the<span style="color: #ff0000;"> <a style="color: #ff0000;" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/24/theater/review-airline-highway-is-a-portrait-of-the-underclass-of-new-orleans.html?_r=0">New York Times</a></span> (and he&#8217;s also nominated for his second Tony Award this year for the same role; his first nomination was for <em>The Song Jacob Zulu</em>).</p>
<p><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class=" size-thumbnail wp-image-6507 alignright" src="https://i0.wp.com/broadwayblack.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/renee-elise-150x150.jpg?resize=150%2C150" alt="renee elise" width="150" height="150" />Next, <strong>Renee Elise Goldsberry</strong> won Outstanding Featured Actress in a Musical for <em><span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="http://broadwayblack.com/hot-ticket-hamilton-headed-broadway/">Hamilt</a><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="http://broadwayblack.com/hot-ticket-hamilton-headed-broadway/">on</a></span>.  </em>Portraying the role of Angelica, Alexander Hamilton’s intellectual soulmate, and the eldest of the three Schuyler sisters.  New York Daily News says the musical &#8220;could’ve been another ho-hum bio, but like the illegitimate orphan-turned-power player it celebrates, the robustly original, infectiously entertaining new musical “<em>Hamilton</em>” beats the odds and far exceeds expectations.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="https://i0.wp.com/broadwayblack.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/ThompsonJohnDouglas.jpg"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-6508" src="https://i0.wp.com/broadwayblack.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/ThompsonJohnDouglas-150x150.jpg?resize=150%2C150" alt="ThompsonJohnDouglas" width="150" height="150" /></a>Finally, <strong>John Douglas Thompson</strong> was recognized with a special award which recognizes excellence and significant contributions to the theatre.  This season, Thompson was in <span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="http://www.tfana.org/season-2015/tamburlaine/overview">Tamburlaine the Great</a></span> and <span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/13/theater/review-the-iceman-cometh-revived-with-nathan-lane-and-brian-dennehy.html">The Iceman Cometh</a></span>, and was noted for &#8220;his commanding presence, classical expertise, and vocal prowess,&#8221; according to the Drama Desk Awards.  The New York Times calls Thompson “one of the most compelling classical stage actors of his generation.”</p>
