Three Arlington theater companies took home a combined seven Helen Hayes Awards this week — including one for a Yorktown High School graduate.
Signature Theatre led local winners with four awards, while Synetic Theater claimed two — including one of the night’s top Outstanding Production prizes — and Avant Bard Theatre picked up one. The Shirlington-based Signature finished fifth overall among the region’s theaters at the 42nd annual Helen Hayes Awards, held Monday at The Anthem in D.C.
