We're nearing the closing curtain of Awards Season 2016! Last night the Drama Desk Awards were handed out.

Another exciting list of nominees has been released, and it features all of the same shows as the Outer Critics Circle nom list. Good news for these shows, not so good for those left off the last list who were still holding out some hope... Deaf West Theatre, the minds behind this year's revival of Spring Awakening, were also…
