The Regional Theatre Tony Award is a special non-competitive Tony Award given annually to a regional theatre company in the United States. Initially presented in 1948 to Robert Porterfield of the Virginia Barter Theatre for their Contribution To Development Of Regional Theatre,[1] the Regional Theatre awards were next presented starting in 1976.[2] The award is "based on a recommendation by the American Theatre Critics Association", and includes a grant of $25,000.[3] As the American Theatre Critics Association has noted, no theater has won the award more than once, "testifying to the growing strength of professional theater nation-wide."[2] One of the objects of the award is promoting what often amounts to the incubators of new productions.
