We need to talk about a disturbing trend on Broadway that must be stopped. This trend impacts the public at large and, if not curbed soon, could have unsavory consequences for us all.

Before we announce the winners of the 2014 My Theatre Awards, we’re proud to present our annual Nominee Interview Series.
