The Regional Theatre Tony Award honors a nonprofit professional regional theatre company in the United States that has displayed a continuous level of artistic achievement contributing to the growth of theatre nationally. It is awarded by The Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing based upon a recommendation by the American Theatre Critics Association and is accompanied by a grant of $25,000.
The Chicago Shakespeare Theater aims to give theatergoers the means to explore the dramatic works of William Shakespeare and other classics, while providing important counterpoint through newly commissioned plays and the presentation of acclaimed guest artists from across the globe.
Two decades ago, the CST started as a modest Shakespeare theater operating out of a dance auditorium on Chicago’s north side. It is now one of Chicago’s leading cultural institutions and one of America’s largest and most respected nonprofit theaters in a state-of-the-art facility on Navy Pier with a $14 million operating budget.
The award is to the left of the box office. No tickets is required to see the award.
