The 2018 Barrymores List: What's New...
The Philadelphia Award is awarded annually to a production that best leads audiences to a better understanding of the unique experience of particular segments of our global community. Through their accurate and insightful representation of perspectives unique to gender, ethnicity, religion, age, and other categories of specialized experience, these productions enlighten us and help us to better appreciate different points of view without demanding that we agree with them. Generously funded by the Virginia Brown Martin Fund of The Philadelphia Foundation, this special Barrymore Award includes a $25,000 cash prize for the recipient and $2,500 for each finalist.
In order to insure proper viewing, theatre’s are invited to choose up to two (2) productions from the 2018-19 season and submit a letter and application requesting consideration no later than Friday, December 21, 2018. While recognizing the deadline above, theatre’s are encouraged to submit an application at their earliest convenience regardless of opening.
