Arena Stage was the big winner at Monday’s Helen Hayes Awards, picking up seven trophies at the annual ceremony honoring the best in D.C.-area theater. The Southwest theater’s starry production of Anything Goes tied with 1st Stage’s Fly by Night for most-awarded production of the night, with four prizes each.

The 35th annual awards spread the prizes among 33 productions at 18 local companies. Since 2015, the show has doled out its awards in two tiers: The “Hayes” trophies are for productions in which at least half the cast is part of the Actors Equity Association union, and the “Helen” awards are reserved for mostly non-union productions. D.C.-based actors Felicia Curry and Rick Hammerly—both previous Helen Hayes winners themselves—hosted the affair.

Among the Hayes awards, Shakespeare Theatre Company’s Camelot picked up the highest prize for outstanding musical production, along with trophies for outstanding sound and lighting design. Gloria snagged outstanding production for a Hayes play, one of five awards for Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company. The show and director Kip Fagan also tied with Arena’s Indecent, helmed by Eric Rosen, for outstanding direction.

As for the Helens, 1st Stage was poised to be a big winner with 22 nominations (the second-most of any company). The Tysons theater walked away with five awards total, four for its 1960s-set musical Fly by Night. The show took home the prize for outstanding production in a musical (Helen), along with outstanding ensemble, supporting actress (for Caroline Wolfson), and musical direction (for Kathryn Chase Bryer). Constellation Theatre Company’s Melancholy Play: A Contemporary Farce won for outstanding production of a play.

A few figures from beyond D.C. also picked up prizes: Former Disney star Corbin Bleu, who starred in Anything Goes, was named outstanding actor in a musical (Hayes) and Tina Landau, best known for directing Broadway’s Spongebob musical adaptation, won a directing prize for another Arena production, last summer’s Dave. 

Meanwhile, the visiting production prize winners included a name to keep an eye on: Ephraim Sykes was awarded the prize for outstanding performer in a visiting production for Ain’t Too Proud, the Temptations jukebox musical that visited the Kennedy Center last summer. Sykes is up for a Tony Award for the same role on Broadway, where Ain’t Too Proud premiered earlier this year. (Speaking of visiting productions, one particularly notable show was absent from this year’s nominees: Hamilton, which stopped in D.C. last June, is recusing itself from local theater awards, per the Washington Post)
