Steven Pasquale, Lena Hall, and More at the Steinberg Playwright Awards Honoring Ayad Akhtar and Lucas Hnath
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the “Mimi” Awards, which are presented annually to honor the outstanding artistry and accomplishments of some of the most gifted American playwrights. Each recipient receives a cash award of $50,000.
The musical, a reinvention of Tim Burton’s cult classic film Edward Scissorhands, uses the pop music of Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Alanis Morissette, and more.
Only Make Believe and Situation Group teamed up for a hands-on workshop, crafting costumes with children in hospitals, care facilities, and special education programs.
