Later the same day, the New York Drama Critics Circle voted Stereophonic Best Play and Dead Outlaw Best Musical (those awards will be covered in a separate blog post.)
The Outer Critics Circle is composed of writers on New York theatre for out-of-town newspapers and national publications. The OCC has separate awards for on and Off-Broadway in some categories and considers both venues together in others. Last year, the performance categories were made gender-neutral.
Stereophonic is now the leading contender for Best Play at the Drama Desks and Tonys. Suffs may have a leg-up for the Tonys, but Hell's Kitchen, The Outsiders and Illinoise still look strong.
Founded during the 1949-50 Broadway season by respected theater journalist John Gassner, The Outer Critics Circle is an esteemed association with members affiliated with more than ninety newspapers, magazines, broadcast stations, and online news organizations, in America and abroad. Led by its current President David Gordon, the OCC Board of Directors also includes Vice President Richard Ridge, Recording Secretary Joseph Cervelli, Corresponding Secretary Patrick Hoffman, Treasurer David Roberts, Cynthia Allen, Harry Haun, Dan Rubins, Janice Simpson and Doug Strassler. Simon Saltzman is President Emeritus & Board Member (Non-nominating) and Stanley L. Cohen serves as Financial Consultant & Board Member (Non-nominating). Lauren Yarger serves as the Outer Critics Circle Awards ceremony executive producer.
