Won Broadway's 1973 Tony Award as Best Director (Dramatic) for "That
Championship Season." He was also nominated in the same category the
same year for Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing." This was the
first of only four times in Tony history that a director has had two
nominations in the same category in the same year. The others: as Best
Director (Play),
Mike Nichols in 1977; and as Best Director (Musical),
Trevor Nunn in 1987 and
Susan Stroman in 2000. Only Nunn, like Antoon, won for
one of the two nominations.
