Adrienne Warren, Audra McDonald and more win Antonyo Awards

The ceremony, which celebrated the Black theatre community, took place on Juneteenth.

The inaugural Antonyo Awards, which honor the best of the Black theatre community, took place on Friday night, and Aziza Barnes's BLKS and Tina: The Tina Turner Musical took home the top awards for Best Play and Best Musical respectively.

Audra McDonald and Adrienne Warren won in the top acting categories, with McDonald taking the award for Best Actor in a Play for her performance in Frankie and Johnny in the Claire de Lune and Warren winning for the title role in Tina.
