2011-2012 Patrick Lee Theater Blogger Award Winners

The Independent Theater Bloggers Association (the “ITBA”) is proud to announce the 2012 recipients of the Fourth Annual Patrick Lee Theater Blogger Awards (the “the Patricks”). Patrick Lee was one of the ITBA's founding members--and one of the founders of this blog. Patrick, who passed away suddenly in June 2010, was an erudite, passionate, and tireless advocate for theater in all its forms. Patrick was also the ITBA's first awards director and a regular contributor to Theatermania and TDF Stages.
