So, after the enormous success of COMPANY, do you think Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park has the opportunity to win another Tony for best regional theater?

No, the Tony committee doesn't look at this as a competitve award and compare the seasons of one regional house to another to decide who gets it. It's more a sort of lifetime achievement award for regional theatre and it's a way for the Tonys to honor (and help out financially) the dozens of noteworthy regional theatres around the country that have long distinguished histories, one theatre at a time. Once you get yours, I'm pretty sure that's it (though once they've honored all the LORT houses out there a few decades from now, they might start over and give the award to places it has honored in the past).
Thanks, Margo!
