Honoring Partners:
CONGRATULATIONS to our producing partner and Founder of the Hansberry Project, the amazing Valerie Curtis-Newton.
Valerie received the prestigious Gregory A. Falls Award for Sustained Achievement. Given each year in honor of Gregory A. Falls, this award acknowledges those individuals who have made an impact on our region’s theatre community and embody an inclusive and collaborative spirit.
Theatre Puget Sound’s Executive Director Ariel Bradler states, “Valerie’s artistic excellence and collaborative spirit are just a fraction of the impact she has had on our community. Her work with The Hansberry Project, hours of mentorship in and out of the classroom, and advocacy of POC artist voices will have a lasting effect on our regions theatrical landscape. It is an honor to celebrate this pillar of our community.”
Ms. Curtis-Newton will be the 22nd recipient of this prestigious honor.
