Signature Theatre leads Helen Hayes Awards for best in D.C. theater

Signature Theatre led the Helen Hayes Awards with six wins — including four for the form-bending musical 'Private Jones' — during Monday night's ceremony at the Anthem honoring the best in D.C. theater. Inspired by the true story of a deaf Welsh sniper during World War I, 'Private Jones' told its tale with a blend of spoken English, American Sign Language, British Sign Language and Foley effects. The show earned the Charles MacArthur Award for outstanding new play or musical, plus prizes for supporting performer Erin Weaver, sound design and lighting design.
