The 76th Annual Theatre World Awards Ceremony, which was originally scheduled for June 1, has been postponed in light of global adjustments and restrictions made in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. A new date for the ceremony, likely to be in the fall, will be announced.
The awards, which are presented annually to 12 actors (six women and six men) for their debut performances on or Off-Broadway, was set to take place at Broadway's Circle in the Square.
