Honoring distinguished productions and performances from the 2011-2012 theatrical season and the exemplary career achievements of theatrical giants Alan Menken, Rosie O’Donnell and Diane Paulus, the 2012 Drama League Awards will take place on Friday, May 18 at noon. Tony Award winners Stockard Channing and John Larroquette will host the Awards, called ”the best party on Broadway” by John Lithgow, at the Marriott Marquis Times Square.
