Tony Awards are given for excellence in theatre. It was named after a beautiful actress, Antoinette Perry. It has been given since 1947; about 60 years! Directors and producers make plays hoping to excell and receive a Tony Award. It isn't just the directors or producers that can receive an award. Anybody working to help make the project a success can win an award such as the actors, actresses, costume designers, light crew, ensemble, ANYBODY!
