The
Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Play is an honor presented at the
Tony Awards, a ceremony established in 1947 as the Antoinette Perry Awards for Excellence in Theatre, to actors for quality supporting roles in a
Broadway play. Honors in several categories are presented at the ceremony annually by the Tony Award Productions, a joint venture of
The Broadway League and the
American Theatre Wing, to "honor the best performances and stage productions of the previous year."
