Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Play
The Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Play is an honor presented at the Tony Awards, a ceremony established in 1947 as the Antoinette Perry Awards for Excellence in Theatre, to actresses for quality supporting roles in a Broadway play. The awards are named after Antoinette Perry, an American actress who died in 1946. Honors in several categories are presented at the ceremony annually by the Tony Award Productions, a joint venture of The Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing, to "honor the best performances and stage productions of the previous year."〔 〕
The category was originally called the ''Tony Award for Actress, Supporting or Featured (Dramatic)''. Patricia Neal won the first award at the inception of the ceremony for her portrayal of Regina Hubbard in Lillian Hellman's ''Another Part of the Forest''.〔 Before 1956, nominees' names were not made public: the change was made by the awards committee to "have a greater impact on theatregoers".〔 〕 The award was renamed in 1976, when Shirley Knight became the first winner under the new title for her role as Carla in Robert Patrick's ''Kennedy's Children''.〔 Its most recent recipient is Sophie Okonedo, for the role of Ruth Younger, in ''A Raisin in the Sun''.〔
Six actresses (Christine Baranski, Judith Ivey, Judith Light, Swoosie Kurtz, Audra McDonald, and Frances Sternhagen) hold the record for most awards in this category, each with a total of two. Portrayals of Ruth Younger in ''A Raisin in the Sun'' have won twice, for Audra McDonald and Sophie Okonedo. Supporting actresses in two of three plays in Neil Simon's Eugene trilogy (''Brighton Beach Memoirs'' and ''Broadway Bound'') were nominated for the Tony, and featured actresses in six parts of August Wilson's The Pittsburgh Cycle have also been nominated for the award. Actress Trazana Beverley was the first African American actress to receive the award for her role in the 1977 Broadway play For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf,() ).
