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.
