Mr. Jenkins accepted a Tony Award both on behalf of Broadway Dallas and for himself as a producer of the award-winning show. The Broadway Dallas medallion is proudly showcased in the lobby of its rightful home at The Music Hall at Fair Park.

As a visionary leader in Dallas’ entertainment community, Jenkins’ has consistently brought the “Best of Broadway” to Broadway Dallas. This season, will be no different with a sensational line-up featuring more shows than have ever been offered in the organization’s history.

About The Tony Awards: The Antoinette Perry “Tony” Awards are bestowed annually on theatre professionals for distinguished achievement. The Tony is one of the mist coveted awards in the entertainment industry and the annual telecast is considered one of the most prestigious programs on television. The Tonys are presented by the League of American Theatres and Producers and the American Theatre Wing.

About the Medallion: In 1949 the designers’ union, United Scenic Artists, sponsored a contest for a suitable model for the award. The winning entry, a disk-shaped medallion designed by Herman Rosse, was initiated that year at the third annual dinner. It continues to be the official Tony Award.During the first two years of the Tonys (1947 and 1948), there was no official Tony Award. The winners were presented with a scroll and, in addition, a cigarette lighter (for the men) or a compact (for the women).

Since 1967 the medallion has been mounted on a black pedestal with a curved armature. After the ceremony, each award is numbered for tracking purposes and engraved with the winner’s name.
