The Fred Ebb Foundation in association with the Roundabout Theatre Company awarded Peter Mills, whose scores include Ilyria, The Rockae and The Pursuit of Persephone, with the third annual Fred Ebb Award Nov. 26 at the American Airlines Theatre's Penthouse Lounge.

"The Fred Ebb Award recognizes excellence in musical theatre songwriting, by a songwriter or songwriting team that has not yet achieved significant commercial success," according to the foundation. "The award is meant to encourage and support aspiring songwriters to create new works for the musical theatre."
