What amazing news! And yet not surprising at all. Obviously the rest of
the world is catching up to what we already knew about Liz.
Congratulations!

Dear Colleagues,
Liz Fisher, the Shakespeare at Winedale production coordinator, has been
selected to receive one of the 2018 Princess Grace Awards. The Princess
Grace Foundation, established by Prince Ranier of Monaco in his wife’s
memory, gives grants and scholarships to support emerging artists in
theatre, dance, and film. The scholarship will help Liz pursue her MFA in
Theatre at Texas State University, while she continues to work with the
English Department and Shakespeare at Winedale.
Liz is one of nine winners in the theatre category this year for her work
in directing. She will receive her award from the current Princess of
Monaco at a Gala in New York on October 16th. Other winners this year come
from places like the Yale School of Drama, NYU, and the Oregon Shakespeare
Festival, so Liz is in distinguished company. Past Princess Grace winners
in theatre have included Tony Kushner, Oscar Isaac, and Leslie Odom Jr..
Here’s a link to a press release about the awards:

Please congratulate Liz if you see her in the hallway!
Best,
James Loehlin and Liz Cullingford
