Winners of the 68th Annual Obie Awards were revealed on NY1 by On Stage host Frank Dilella February 1, with Jeremy Tiang's Salesman之死 taking Outstanding New Play, Cole Escola for their performance in Oh, Mary!, the directing and choreography teams behind PPAC NYC's Cats: "The Jellicle Ball," and more among this year's honorees.

Presented by The American Theatre Wing, the Off-Broadway honors announce their winners without a ceremony to allow grants to be bestowed on each of the 35 winners, totaling $250,000. A private reception to toast the winners will be held February 10.

This year's judging panel comprised Aya Ogawa, David Greenspan, Diep Tran, Heather Alicia Simms, Modesto "Flako" Jimenez, Nikiya Mathis, Ryan K. Haddad, and Taylor Renolds, led by co-chairs Wilson Chin and Haruna Lee. More than 300 productions were evaluated.

“We are moved and encouraged by the overwhelmingly positive response to the new structure of the Obie Awards, which we launched last year,” says American Theatre Wing President and CEO Heather Hitchens in a statement. “The artists honored today are a reflection of the incredible work that is being created and presented Off-Broadway and we are so thrilled that, with the support of an anonymous donor, we can provide the best and brightest of Off-Broadway with grants that go directly to the artists. We are also grateful to our friends at Spectrum News NY1, who continue to creatively and masterfully promote the work of the New York theatre community and beyond.”
