The American Theatre Wing's Tony Awards® are presented by Tony Award Productions, a joint venture of The Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing. The two organizations have jointly administered the Tonys since 1967, the year of the first Tony
telecast. Responsibility for the governance and administration of the awards is vested in two committees:
The Tony Awards Management Committee is made up of representatives of the League and the Wing. It oversees
the Tony Awards, with emphasis on the television broadcast.
The Tony Awards Administration Committee is comprised of 24 members, of whom 10 are designated by
the Wing, 10 by the League, and one each by the Dramatists Guild, Actors' Equity Association, United Scenic Artists, and the Society of
Stage Directors and Choreographers. This committee determines eligibility for nominations in all awards categories, reviews the rules governing
the awards, and appoints the Nominating Committee. It may, at its discretion, bestow two non-competitive Tony Awards:
Special Tony Awards and the Regional Theatre Tony Award; as well as Tony Honors for Excellence in the Theatre.
