Glenn Davis is nominated for Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Play.
Glenn Davis has a special relationship with Purpose..., and it's not just that it's the play that earned him his first Tony nomination. As the co-Artistic Director of Steppenwolf Theatre Company, he is one of the key people responsible for its existance.
"Steppenwolf [Theatre Company] took a big swing with this play," he told BroadwayWorld's Richard Ridge. "To have it pay off in this way resolidifies that theatre company's notions and philosophy about betting on the artist. Trust the artist! Trust the people in the building and everything will work out."
Watch as Glenn chats more about his pride in pushing to bring this play to audiences, why he is still in disbelief to be nominated, and so much more. Plus, check out who he is up against and catch up on all the latest Tony Awards coverage!
The 78th Annual Tony Awards will air on Sunday, June 8, 2025.
