The 2011-2012 Patrick Lee Theater Blogger Award Winners

The Independent Theater Bloggers Association (of which I am a member) has announced its 4th annual award winners. The award is named after founding member and  original awards director Patrick Lee, one of the best theater writers and bloggers in New York,  who passed away unexpectedly two years ago.
