SARAH RUHL
Nomination: Best play. Play: In the Next Room (or the Vibrator Play). Earliest Broadway memory: “My mom used to take my sister and me to New York, and I was so excited after going to the theater. I was so little, but I remember feeling completely transformed after seeing a show.”

CBS will broadcast the 2010 Tony Awards beginning at 8 p.m. ET on June 13.
