Kind, McGillin and Pawk Bounce Back with Helen Hayes Nods
The nominations for the 2004 Helen Hayes Awards were announced on March
8th at the Canadian Embassy in Washington, DC. This year there are a
number of the nominees that are well known to Broadway audiences. Those
performers include Richard Kind (Bounce), Lewis Cleale
(1776), Howard McGillin (Bounce), Brenda Braxton
(Chicago), Michele Pawk (Bounce), Matt Bogart
(Camelot) and Alice Ripley (Shakespeare in Hollywood).
Some local favorites also got nods from the Helen Hayes committee.
Among those are Stephen Gregory Smith (110 in the Shade), Harry
Winter (110 in the Shade), E. Faye Butler (Ain't Misbehavin',
The Fats Waller Musical Show), and Bernardine Mitchell
(Crowns).
Notable directing nominations went to Molly Smith for her take on
Camelot, Toby Orenstein for Ragtime, The Musical, and Regina
Taylor for Crowns. Signature Theatre's Eric Schaeffer garnered two
nominations for his direction of 110 in the Shade and
Follies.
The Helen Hayes Awards ceremony will be presented on May 10th at the
John F. Kennedy Center. For more information on the Helen Hayes awards,
