Although Brooks Atkinson of ''[[The New York Times]]'' was the first President of the NYDCC, ''Times'' critics are no longer permitted to be members of the group. In 1989, the newspaper's executive editor decreed that their critics could no longer participate in any awards voting. ''Times'' critics remained in the organization as non-voting members until 1997, when the newspaper reversed its policy and allowed its critics to resume voting for the awards. However, in 2003, the newspaper adopted a revised ethics policy that forbade its journalists from membership in an awards-voting body, and its critics withdrew from the NYDCC.<ref>{{cite news|url = https://www.playbill.com/article/times-brantley-and-weber-exit-new-york-drama-critics-circle-com-111453|title = Times' Brantley and Weber Exit New York Drama Critics Circle|work = [[Playbill]]|date = February 7, 2003|accessdate = April 7, 2022|last = Simonson|first = Robert}}</ref> {{As of|2021}}, the ''Times''{{'}}s policy against membership remains in effect.<ref>{{cite news|url = https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/22/insider/times-hall-of-fame-voting.html|title = Why Times Reporters Don’t Vote for M.V.P.

The New York Drama Critics' Circle meets twice a year. At the end of each theater season, it votes on the annual New York Drama Critics' Circle Awards, the second oldest theater award in the United States (after the [[Pulitzer Prize]]). The main award is for Best Play. If the winner of that award is American, the Circle then votes on whether to give an award for Best Foreign Play as well; if the Best Play winner is of foreign origin, the Circle may give out an award for Best American Play. The awards are later presented in a small ceremony. Since 1945, the Circle has also given out awards for Best Musical. Special Citations may also be awarded for actors, companies or work of special merit. The award for Best Play includes a cash prize of $2,500, and a cash award of $1,000 is given to the playwright who receives the award for Best American or Foreign Play.<ref>Gans, Andrew.
