'We’re not only here to celebrate the return of being in-person but really the fact that the show exists due to the support and belief of this community — were it not for that, we wouldn’t be here this year,' says executive director Jeffrey Sharp.

Over the past couple of years, we’ve been thinking we have a unique opportunity to try something and really provide some leadership in this area. It’s part of our DNA. Our breakthrough performer award and breakthrough director are nongendered, so it was not out of character with who we are. And it just felt like the right thing to do.

One of the concerns with gender-neutral categories is that one gender, perhaps male, would dominate. Did you add more nominees so there would be more diversity represented? Our organization is probably uniquely positioned to do something like this, with our nominating committees just being very mindful of representation and diversity. Being present for those conversations, it materialized rather organically in terms of how the list of nominees came together, like we’d always done it that way.
