The 2014-15 Outer Critics Circle Award Winners Party was held at Sardi’s on Thursday, May 21st and, as always, it felt like we were all in someone’s living room, mixing and mingling with each other and the magnificent talented Broadway and off Broadway performers, playwrights, composers, creatives and producers that make up this year’s roster of winners.
