In January, John Cullum was inducted into the THEATRE HALL OF FAME! Member's names are displayed on the walls of the Gershwin Theater's upper lobby, where the ceremony was held. The complete list of Theater Hall of Fame members is published annually in "The Best Plays Theater Yearbook."

The criteria for consideration for the Hall of Fame, now in its 37th year, include a minimum of five major credits in the American theater over a career of at least 25 years. Each year, 60 to 70 nominees are put before an electorate of about 350, made up of members of the Hall of Fame, members of the nation-wide American Theatre Critics Association, and selected other industry leaders, journalists and theater historians.
