Peter Zeisler Memorial Award

This year's award was given to Will Power at the TCG National Conference in Atlanta, on June 10, 2006.

The Peter Zeisler Memorial Award recognizes an individual or organization whose work exemplifies innovative or untraditional practices, is dedicated to the freedom of expression and has not yet been recognized in the national field for this work.

2006 is the inaugural year for the Zeisler Award, given in tribute to the late executive director of TCG, Peter Zeisler.

Nomination forms will be mailed to TCG member theatres in November. If you have questions or comments, please feel free to contact Jenni Werner, National Conference Director.
