Third Annual Patrick Lee Theater Blogger Awards

For the third year in a row, the Independent Theater Bloggers Association (the ITBA) presented awards for excellence in Broadway, off-Broadway, and off-off-Broadway. The awards have been renamed the Patrick Lee Theater Blogger Awards in honor of Patrick Lee, one of the ITBA's founding members. If you've been reading this blog, following me on twitter, or know me in person, you can probably figure out which of these winners I didn't vote for, but it's a pretty good list overall. Here is a video of the announcement, followed by a complete list of the winners. Congrats to them all!
