The Buddy Awards are selected from nominations by peers and the New London Theatre Board of Directors, and are given for exceptional contributions to the theatre for the past year. Known as the “Buddy Awards”, the name is a derivative of “BOD”, or Board of Directors. The categories for the awards include Business Awards, Achievement Awards, as well as a presentation to one recipient for overall achievement for the entire season.
