History
of the Awards for Excellence The
Theatre Museum continues the legacy The Broadway Theatre Institute began in 1995
by presenting Awards for Excellence in both Theatre History Preservation and Theatre
Arts Education. From 1986 - 2003, the
Broadway Theatre Institute developed programs that fostered the perpetuation and
appreciation of theatre in New York and served more than 100,000 children and
adults in New York City. It's evolution and merger into The Theatre Museum in
2003 was the next step in its development. The
