'The Band's Visit' Wins Helen Hayes 'Outstanding Visiting Production' Award

The 36th Annual Helen Hayes Awards concluded on September 25 after a series of virtual events celebrating Washington's dynamic and diverse theatre community.

The Helen Hayes Awards for individual achievements were announced via Zoom with nominees, presenters, and guests from the community from August 31-September 11, 2020. The community enjoyed a celebratory evening of virtual events, including a pre-show red carpet on Instagram live, hosted by DC theatre artists and Helen Hayes Award recipients Rick Hammerly and Felicia Curry and an after party on Zoom, DJ'd and hosted by Edward Daniels, DC actor and owner of Scorpio Entertainment.

The program was streamed live and is now available in full on YouTube.
