NEW
YORK – Tony Award-winner Julie Taymor and
Oscar-winner Elliot Goldenthal were
honored with the
Samuel H. Scripps Award at Theatre for a New
Audience's 30th Anniversary Gala
Celebrating Shakespeare's 446th Birthday. The
celebration, Monday, May 10, was held at The
Powerhouse at the American Museum of Natural
History,
Central Park West at 79th Street.
Actor Alfred Molina,
currently starring on Broadway in the
widely-acclaimed Red as Mark Rothko and a
recent winner of the British Independent Film
Award for his supporting actor role in An
Education, was Master of Ceremonies for the
evening. Bass-baritone Eric Owens, who
created the title role in the world premiere of
Mr. Goldenthal's acclaimed Grendel,
sang from that opera.
Composer John
Corigliano (Pulitzer Prize, Oscar and
three-time Grammy winner) and Shakespeare
scholar
Jonathan Andrew Bate presented the Scripps award to Ms.
Taymor and Mr. Goldenthal.
Established in 2005, the
Samuel H. Scripps Award recognizes
extraordinary commitment to promoting the power
of language in classic and contemporary theatre.
The award is a sculpture of Shakespeare by
Milton Glaser. Prior year recipients include
Mark Rylance, Cicely Berry, C.B.E. Hon. D.Lit,
Robert Neff Williams, author Tony Kushner,
