It's time for the annual David Desk Awards based on all theater I saw during the 2023-24 Broadway and Off-Broadway theater season. I missed last year because of work commitments. Merrily We Roll Along is included because I missed it Off-Broadway during 2022-23. Suffs is counted as a new musical since Shaina Taub has extensively revised it since its Off-Broadway production in 2022. All of those listed are winners in my book.
Outstanding Play:
The Comeuppance (Branden Jacobs-Jenkins)
Corruption (J.T. Rogers)
Infinite Life (Annie Baker)
Mother Play (Paula Vogel)
Russian Troll Farm: A Workplace Comedy (Sarah Gancher)
Stereophonic (David Adjmi)
Wet Brain (John J. Caswell, Jr.)
