“At its best, theatre brings a community together, it creates public discourse, it builds literacy and empathy – in short, theatre improves the quality of life in a region. Through SDCF’s Zelda Fichandler Award, we strive to discover and recognize those whose work is enriching the community and profoundly affecting the arts landscape, just as Zelda Fichandler and the founders of the regional theatre movement did when they transformed our nation’s access to the arts.” – Director Susan H. Schulman, President of the SDC Foundation
