The Fred Ebb Foundation (Mitchell Bernard, Trustee) in association with the Roundabout Theatre Company (Todd Haimes, Artistic Dir) will present the eleventh annual Fred Ebb Award for aspiring musical theatre songwriters to Stacey Luftig and Phillip Palmer. The award, named in honor of the late award-winning lyricist Fred Ebb, will be presented by Karen Ziemba on Mon Nov 30th from 6:00-8:00 PM at a by-invitation-only ceremony in the Penthouse Lounge of The American Airlines . The Fred Ebb Award recognizes excellence in musical theatre songwriting, by a songwriter or songwriting team that has not yet achieved significant commercial success. The award is meant to encourage and support aspiring songwriters to create new works for the musical theatre. The prize includes a $50,000 award.  In addition to the monetary prize, the Fred Ebb Foundation will produce a one-night-only showcase of the winner’s work.  The Fred Ebb Foundation is funded by royalties from Mr. Ebb’s vast catalogue of work. The selection panel is comprised of: Foundation Trustee Mitchell Bernard; lyricist, writer and composer Sheldon Harnick; music director David Loud; actress Kelli O’Hara; playwright and producer Tim Pinckney; and theatre producer Arthur Whitelaw. Each year, the Foundation also makes a donation to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. Press contact: Claire Wojciechowski/Matt Ross Public Relations (212/756-1248)...
