"At New Dramatists we live in a world of urgent stories told in wildly divergent ways, because the original and distinctive telling of stories is the heart of what playwrights do," artistic director Todd London said in a previous statement. "Susan Stroman is a master storyteller. As a director, choreographer and creative artist, she uses bodies, voices, music, scenery-everything at hand-to theatricalize the tales she tells. It's always a thrill and a joy to encounter her work, two feelings that perfectly describe how it feels to be honoring her achievement."
Stroman's stage credits include serving as director and choreographer of Contact , The Producers , Young Frankenstein , The Scottsboro Boys and Big Fish . She is currently directing and choreographing Bullets Over Broadway . Past luncheon honorees have included Bernadette Peters , Roger Berlind , Julie Taymor , Horton Foote , Edward Albee , Harvey Fierstein , Chita Rivera , Meryl Streep , Angela Lansbury , Julie Andrews , Glenn Close , Stephen Sondheim , Arthur Miller , Neil Simon , Jerry Herman , Terrence McNally , Barbara Cook , John Kander and Fred Ebb , August Wilson and Gwen Verdon .
Founded in 1949, the New Dramatists is one of the country's leading playwright centers and a nationally recognized new play laboratory.
