Center Theatre Group Honors Closs-Farley with Sherwood Award

Center Theatre Group has announced that costume designer Ann Closs-Farley will be honored with a 2010 Sherwood Award.  Closs-Farley's work will soon be seen on Broadway in The Pee-wee Herman Show. 

Closs-Farley's L.A. credits include: Disney's Toy Story: The Musical, An Evening Without Monty Python, The Receptionist, Land of the Tigers, James and the Giant Peach and The Projectionist (at the CTG/Kirk Douglas Theatre).

The Sherwood Award "was created in 1996 to identify and support innovative, adventurous artists in different areas of theatre, and to build, with these artists, a creative relationship with CTG," according to press notes. The award of $10,000 was established as an endowed fund at CTG in memory of the late CTG board member Richard E. Sherwood.

 Center Theatre Group is Los Angeles' preeminent non-profit theatre company. On the three stages - the Ahmanson Theatre, the Mark Taper Forum and the Kirk Douglas Theatre - CTG presents the highest quality and broadest range of theatre: groundbreaking new works, explosive productions of the classics and hit Broadway plays and musicals.

The same high standards that we apply to our stages extend to CTG education programs.  Through performances for students, residencies at schools, discount tickets and educational materials, we reach each year over 20,000 young people who would not otherwise experience professional theatre.
