El New York Drama Critics' Circle (Cercle de Crítics Teatrals de Nova York) és una agrupació formada per 24 crítics de teatre de premsa, revistes i agències de notícies establerts a la zona metropolitana de Nova York.^[1] Va ser creada el 1935 a l'Algonquin Hotel per un grup que incloïa Brooks Atkinson, Walter Winchell, i Robert Benchley.

El Premi del New York Drama Critics' Circle

El New York Drama Critics' Circle es reuneix dues vegades l'any. Al final de cada temporada teatral, voten els Premis Anuals del Cercle de Crítics de Teatre de Nova York, el segon premi teatral més veterà dels Estats Units (després del Premi Pulitzer). El premi principal és a la Millor Obra. Si el guanyador és estatunidenc, llavors el Cercle vota sobre si donar un premi a la Millor Obra Estrangera; de la mateixa manera que li el guanyador de la Millor Obra és estranger, llavors el Cercle pot donar un premi a la Millor Obra Americana. Els premis són concedits en una petita cerimònia. Des de 1945 el Cercle també concedeix un premi al Millor Musical. Les Citacions Especials poden ser concedides a actors, companyies o treballs especials d'un mèrit especial. El premi de Millor Obra inclou un premi monetari de $2.500.-, i els guanyadors de Millor Obra Americana o Estrangera reben un premi monetari de $1.000.^[2]

Tot i que Brooks Atkinson del New York Times va ser el primer President del Cercle, els crítics del Times ja no poden ser membres. El 1989 l'editor executiu del diari decretà que els seus crítics ja no podrien participar en cap premi. Els crítics del Times serviren com a membres sense vot del Cercle fins al 1997, quan el diari revisà la seva política i permeté als seus crítics que tornessin a votar. El 2003, però, el permís tornà a ser revocat, i els crítics del Times van haver de retirar-se del Cercle.
