The Wolves – Special Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Ensemble
The superbly talented cast of Sarah DeLappe's debut play — Mia Barron, Brenna Coates, Jenna Dioguardi, Samia Finnerty, Midori Francis, Lizzy Jutila, Sarah Mezzanotte, Tedra Millan, Lauren Patten and Susannah Perkins — jelled as one, proving that team spirit is just as alive on the stage as it is on the soccer field.
Lila Neugebauer – Sam Norkin Award
During a season that saw her helm the original works The Antipodes, Everybody, Miles for Mary and The Wolves, and resurrect the works of esteemed playwrights Edward Albee, María Irene Fornés and Adrienne Kennedy in Signature Plays, director Lila Neugebauer has shown that her dauntless insight into the human condition knows no bounds.
Phil LaDuca – Special Drama Desk Award
Proving that character comes from the ground up, the designer's innovative flexible dance shoe ensures that hoofers on any stage remain on point.

no "Dear Evan Hansen"? or was there a reason it was not eligible? it is a couple of years old. I'm dying to see it after hearing an extended interview with the cast with music included!
Dear Evan Hansen only received three Drama Desk nominations last year for its Off-Broadway run - Outstanding Lyrics (which it won), Featured Actress in a Musical and Projection Design. I am surprised that it didn't receive more.
