The Shakespeare Theatre Company (STC) has chosen Julie Taymor as the 2015 recipient of the William Shakespeare Award for Classical Theatre (Will Award), which recognizes artists who have made significant contributions to classical theatre in America. JM Zell Partners, Ltd. will receive the Sidney Harman Award for Philanthropy in the Arts. The awards will be presented at the Harman Center for the Arts Annual Gala on Sunday, November 1, 2015, hosted by STC at Sidney Harman Hall (610 F Street NW) and the National Building Museum (440 G Street NW).
“We are delighted to celebrate Julie Taymor‘s bold, visionary work for the stage and screen that has brought classical work to new audiences and strengthened appreciation of what makes Shakespeare’s creations timeless,” says STC Artistic Director Michael Kahn.
“It is especially meaningful that Julie, the first female Will Award recipient honored for directing, will be with us in Washington during the citywide Women’s Voices Theater Festival. Her creative voice is so strong, and inspirational to so many.”
