Ollie Award
The Ollie Award
Recognizing Emerging playwrights writing original work with ambitious theatrical ideas…
Our inaugural award, The Ollie Award, supports expansive, idea-driven artworks with inherently theatrical ways of illuminating big ideas and concepts. This award is intended for an early-career playwright to write a hugely ambitious new play. We encourage these works to grapple with concepts and ideas that move the world, and approach them from a new perspective.
