The 2009 Tony Awards will include a new honor: the Isabelle Stevenson Award, to be given to a member of the theater community for philanthropic efforts.

The award, named after the former president of the American Theatre Wing, will go to a person “who has made a substantial contribution or volunteered time and effort on behalf of one or more humanitarian, social service or charitable organizations.”
