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. His loss is still felt among the community, and it was decided last year to rename the award we give in his honor.

The winners for the 2011-2012 season are:
