Best Actor in a Musical went to Alessandro Major for Ain't Misbehavin' and Best Actress in a Musical went to Dalia Feldman for Broadway in Concert II. Best Director in a Musical went to Gloria McGlone for Ain't Misbehavin' and Best Director in a Comedy/Drama went to Angela Hackman for Leading Ladies.

"...the name Twirp was simply a humorous award given affectionately to members of the Freeport Players’ Guild at the end of the season. It has since become the awards presentation that is the island’s equivalent of the Tony Awards."
