Last seen on Broadway opposite Angela Lansbury in Deuce, she has also graced the Broadway stage in Equus, Ivanov, 45 Seconds From Broadway, Father's Day, Deathtrap, Ring Round the Moon and Dinner at Eight — Tony-nominated for the latter four. Other credits include Dedication or the Stuff of Dreams and Beckett/Albee.

Previous recipients of Vineyard honors include Pulitzer Prize-winning playwrights Edward Albee (Three Tall Women) and Paula Vogel (How I Learned To Drive).
