A special "Salute To New York Theatre," this year’s EDDY Awards will begin with a cocktail reception at 7:30pm, followed by the awards presentation beginning at 8:30pm. The 2003 EDDY Awards are presented in conjunction with the 9th annual Broadway Lighting Master Classes and the inaugural Broadway Sound Master Classes , a two-part professional training program that runs from June 25 through June 29, 2003.
Celebrating their 11th anniversary this year, the prestigious EDDY’s pay tribute to those whose work has made an impact in our industry. The editors of Entertainment Design select the winners with an eye toward true excellence in technical and design-related fields. Since 1991, over 35 individuals, eight design or production teams, one union, one creature shop, one concert construction company, one full-service scenic shop, and one theatrical production department have been so honored.
