A statue designed by Tony Award-nominated scenic designer and architect David Rockwell, and dubbed ‘The Mimi’ was unveiled today at a press conference in New York City.  The Award, formally called ‘Steinberg Distinguished Playwright Award,’ will be presented to its first recipient, Tony Kushner, at a ceremony on Tuesday, October 21, at 620 Loft & Garden at Rockefeller Center.

The honor comes with a cash prize of $200,000, making this by far the largest award ever created to honor and encourage artistic achievement in the American theater.
