Theater Puget Sound is honoring Cornish Theater Department Faculty Robin Lynn Smith as the 2008 recipient of the Gregory A. Falls Sustained Achievement Award. This award honors an individual who has devoted time, energy and talent to Seattle’s theatre community, and whose career has had an influence on theatre locally and beyond. Director and educator Robin Lynn Smith was nominated for her work creating and sustaining community, which honors the collaborative nature of theatre and impacts the Seattle arts scene.
This year, TPS celebrates the 11th anniversary of the Gregory A. Falls Sustained Achievement Award. The award was initiated in 1997 through a generous donation by Jean Falls to honor the memory of Seattle theatre visionary Gregory Falls, a former chair of the UW School of Drama who is credited with creating Seattle’s vibrant theatre scene. Falls founded one of Seattle’s mainstays, ACT, more than three decades ago.
