Six Yalies — including one professor — were honored at the 67th Annual Tony Awards last night, an annual ceremony that recognizes outstanding achievement in theatre. The winners are listed below:

School of Drama professor Ming Cho Lee received a lifetime achievement award for his work in scenic design.

Christopher Durang DRA ’74 took home the award for “Best Play” for authoring “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike,” a humorous and contemporary exploration of Russian plays by Anton Chekhov — and which originally featured his classmate, Sigourney Weaver DRA ’76 as “Masha.”

Costume designer William Ivey Long DRA ’75 received his 13th nomination and sixth Tony Award for his work on “Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella.” His other wins include designing the costumes for “Nine,” “The Producers,” and “Hairspray.”

Courtney B. Vance DRA ’86 won “Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Play” for “Lucky Guy,” a drama about the real life of a New York City tabloid reporter who brings to light police brutality toward a Haitian man, and which starred 2011 Class Day speaker Tom Hanks.

John Lee Beatty DRA ’73 won the award “Best Scenic Design of a Play” for his work on the revolving, detailed set of “The Nance.”

Playwright Larry Kramer ’57 received the Isabelle Stevenson Award — an honor given to a member of the theater community dedicated to humanitarian efforts — for his work cofounding the Gay Men’s Health Crisis, and other HIV/AIDS-related services.

A previous version of this article mistakenly stated that “Lucky Guy” is about police brutality toward a Haitian woman.
