Presented by Broadway Black, the show honoring the best of Broadway and Off Broadway theater created by Black artists will host its first live, in-person event Oct. 10.
“The Antonyo Awards were born to remind ourselves of the joy that Black theater artists have created in a fractured country,” Shade, founder of Broadway Black, said. “For almost 10 years Broadway Black has championed Black voices in many different ways, and we are thrilled to move from the well-received initial streaming broadcast in our first year to a fully produced awards ceremony at the legendary Apollo Theater, the centerpiece of live performance in Harlem.
Nominations for the 2022 event, which celebrates the work of Black artists during the 2021-2022 theater season, were announced June 20. The nominating committee included theater artists Shade, Alaina Newell, Ayanna Prescod, Brittani Samuel, Juan Michael Porter II, Eric Emauni, Judith Lovell and Cody Renard Richard.
Announcements for this year’s performances and guest appearances are forthcoming. Last year’s list of presenters and performers included Audra McDonald, Tituss Burgess, Alex Newell, Jordan E. Cooper, Teyonah Parris, Ephraim Sykes, LaChanze and more.
