Our Broadway awards tracker for Rep alumni returns for 2019

Thursday | Apr. 25, 2019

Here at The Rep, we're honored to work some of the top theatre talents in the nation, both on stage and off. 

We always keep an eye on the performers, designers, directors and playwrights who have worked here, as they often go on to achieve great things at theatres across the nation. And while awards are hardly the only measure of success, we have to admit it's always exhilarating to see our former collaborators receive recognition for their work on the biggest stages.

So this spring, as award nominations roll in for Broadway and Off-Broadway productions, we're tallying up all the nods for Rep alumni. This includes anyone who's acted in, directed or designed a show here. Check out the nominees below!
