Students named Greene Foundation fellows
Brian Hastert '09, Teresa Avia Lim '09, Luke Robertson '09, and Erica Sullivan '09 are the first recipients of the Jerome L. Greene Foundation Fellowship, which underwrites the full tuition and living expenses of four students in the acting department in their third and final year of training. The Jerome L. Greene Foundation made a $3.235 million gift in January to the Yale School of Drama—the largest single gift for scholarship ever made to the school—to establish the endowed scholarship fund.
2008 Yale Drama Series Award
Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Edward Albee has selected Grenadine by Neil Wechsler (Yale College '96) as the recipient of the 2008 Yale Drama Series Award, an annual award inaugurated in 2007 that supports emerging playwrights. Wechsler will be awarded the David C. Horn Prize of $10,000; his play will be published by Yale University Press and will receive a reading at Yale Repertory Theatre. The Yale Drama Series Award is funded by a gift from the David Charles Horn Foundation, and is jointly sponsored by Yale University Press and Yale Repertory Theatre. British playwright David Hare has been named the judge for the 2009 and 2010 competitions.
