Posted & filed under Latest News.

Salome swept the 2016 Helen Hayes Awards with seven wins, including Best Ensemble.

From the Washington Post:

“The Shakespeare Theatre Company’s “Salome” came out head and shoulders above its rivals at Monday night’s Helen Hayes Awards, earning seven trophies, including outstanding play — an overall honor akin to best picture — and the directing award for the show’s mastermind, Yael Farber.

“Salome” dominated the “play” categories on the “Hayes” side of the awards, which last year began handing out honors on two tracks — Hayes for shows with mostly (or all) Actors’ Equity performers, and Helens for the rest.”
