The Fred Ebb Foundation (Mitchell Bernard, Trustee) in association with the Roundabout Theatre Company (Todd Haimes, Artistic Director) will present the ninth annual Fred Ebb Award for aspiring musical theatre songwriters to Michael Kooman and Christopher Dimond.  The award, named in honor of the late award-winning lyricist Fred Ebb, will be presented by Joel Grey on Mon Dec 2 from 6:00-8:00 PM at a by-invitation-only ceremony in the Penthouse Lounge of The American Airlines. The Fred Ebb Award recognizes excellence in musical theatre songwriting, by a songwriter or songwriting team that has not yet achieved significant commercial success. The award is meant to encourage and support aspiring songwriters to create new works for the musical theatre. The prize includes a $50,000 award.  In addition to the monetary prize, the Fred Ebb Foundation will produce a one-night-only showcase of the winner’s work.
