      David Birney Award for Excellence in the Theater Arts
      Dartmouth College Department of Theater
      May 2013
      Given each year to "the student making the most significant contribution to the theater at Dartmouth during the previous year... Two qualities are to be considered: (1) the student's contribution should embody, or aspire to, a standard of excellence, a deep concern for the quality of the craft; (2) since craft without passion, is, I think, a dead thing, the student should evidence a genuine passion, a substantial emotional commitment to the art of the theater."
