The City Paper’s own Trey Graham recently took home a significant accolade in the world of theatre criticism, winning the 2003-04 George Jean Nathan Award.
The Nathan Award, administered by the Cornell University Department of English, was established to reward “the American who has written the best piece of drama criticism during the theatrical year (July 1 to June 30), whether it is an article, an essay, treatise or book.” Graham was selected by a committee comprised of of the chairs of the English departments at Cornell, Princeton and Yale, and specifically honored for a piece he wrote on The Studio Theatre’s production of Caryl Churchill’s “Far Away,” in which this DCist spent a lovely week last year serving as a funny hat-wearing supernumerary.
