In addition to the traditional Tony Awards, there are special recognition awards given.
The Lifetime Achievement Award is given to a thespian that has excelled in theatrical productions throughout their life. This year playwright and director Sir Alan Ayckbourn and actress Marian Seldes.
The Isabella Stevenson Award is given to a member of the theater community for contributions to charitable organizations or volunteered help. This doesn't have to be related back to the theater community in any way. David Hyde Pierce will be awarded for his volunteered time and donations for the Alzheimer disease.
Tony Honors for Excellence in Theatre recognizes different institutions and organizations that have significant achievements in the theater community. The Alliance of Resident Theatres New York, B.H. Barry, and Tom Viola will receive this special Tony Award.
