The Drama Desk Awards happened via livestream for the world to see and we kept you in the know as the show went on. Below yo4u’ll find all the updates on winners. You can also view the livestream of the entire show down below.rnrnSome notable winners included Shuffle Along  and The Color Purple who both racked up several awards throughout the night. Hamilton was not nominated this year due to being ineligible since being nominated for its Off-Broadway run at The Public Theater last year. That cleared the way for some other great shows to take home the Drama Desk.rnrnIt truly was a wonderful night with some great highlights including a Memoriam tribute that included Broadway Black favorite Kyle Jean-Baptiste and a speech by playwright Danai Gurrira who won the Sam Norkin for bringing great insight, range, and depth, & being a fresh new voice to American theater.rn

Drew Shade is a visionary creative force at the intersection of Black theatre, media, and culture. As the Founder and Creative Director of Broadway Black, Off-Book: The Podcast, and The Antonyo Awards, he champions artistic excellence and amplifies the voices of Black theatre artists with intention, heart, and unapologetic pride.His work has been featured in The New York Times, Playbill, Deadline, The Observer, and Apple TV’s Dear…, and he's collaborated with brands and institutions such as NBC, BET, Audible, Universal Pictures, SheaMoisture, The Public Theater, Signature Theatre, National Black Theatre, and more. He has also served as a cultural consultant and curator for countless Broadway productions for over a decade — establishing himself as a trusted voice and tastemaker in theatre and media.In addition to his work behind the scenes, Shade is a performer and creative artist in his own right, with credits including Classical Theatre of Harlem’s The First Noel at The Apollo, The Preacher’s Wife musical at The Alliance Theatre, and a Sondheim tribute concert at Carnegie Hall led by Tituss Burgess.
