TheDrama-Logue Awardwas an Americantheateraward established in 1977, given by the publishers ofDrama-Loguenewspaper, a weekly west-coast theatertrade publication.[1]Winners were selected by the publication's theater critics, and would receive a certificate at an annual awards ceremony hosted byDrama-Loguefounder Bill Bordy.[2]The awards did not require any voting or agreement among critics; each critic could select as many award winners as they wished. As a result, many awards were issued each year. In some years, the number of winners was larger than the seating capacity of the venue where the ceremony was conducted.[3]

The award categories includedProduction,Direction,Musical Direction,Choreography,Writing,Performance,Ensemble Performance,Scenic Design,Sound Design,Lighting Design,Costume DesignandHair & Makeup Design.
