PARTY MAS: The several thousand guests who jammed the National Building Museum’s vast confines for the 30th annual Helen Hayes Awards may or may not have been aware of who actually won accolades for this or that production on a Washington area stage last year, but that didn’t mean they weren’t engaging in their own little dramas as they bellied up to the overcrowded bars, attacked various buffets (pizza, mini-burger, gelato), queued for psychic lip readings and caroused on various dance floors before, during and after the last award was announced. BEST CHEERLEADER: Longtime TheatreWashington board chairman Victor Shargai took home the Helen Hayes Lifetime Achievement Award, placing him on a pedestal once occupied by such stars as Kevin Spacey and James Earl Jones.
