Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actor in a Play
Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actor in a Play was an annual award by Drama Desk recognizing outstanding male performances in Broadway, off-Broadway, and off-off-Broadway plays in New York City. It began in 1975, when Drama Desk created eight new acting awards to replace a single, gender- and type-blind honor. The final ceremony was in 2022. In 2023, this category and the other acting categories were retired and replaced by the gender-neutral Outstanding Lead Performance in a Play. Location: New York City, United States. Website: dramadesk.org (defunct).
