Bay Street Players Announces 2009-2010 Dolly Award Winners

The Dolly Awards – so named because the first show presented by Bay Street Players was Hello Dolly– is fashioned after classic award ceremonies such as Broadway’s Tony Awards. The evening celebrates the close of the season honoring our performers as well as others for their outstanding contributions. The Dolly Award Nominees and winners are selected by a private jury that complete ballots throughout the season.
