CORRECTION: Matthew Paul Olmos Wins Arizona Theatre Company 20th National Latino Playwriting Award
From: scarr51@gmail.com [mailto:scarr51@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Steve Carr
Sent: Tuesday, June 30, 2015 9:04 AM
Subject: CORRECTED NEWS RELEASE: Matthew Paul Olmos Wins Arizona Theatre Company 20th National Latino Playwriting Award
EDITORS: This version corrects the title of the play and makes additional corrections. We apologize for the inconvenience.
NEWS RELEASE
For Immediate Release
MATTHEW PAUL OLMOS'S "THE LIVING'LIFE OF THE DAUGHTER MIRA" WINS ARIZONA THEATRE COMPANY'S 2015 NATIONAL LATINO PLAYWRITING AWARD
Matthew Paul Olmos's the living'life of the daughter mira has been named the winner of Arizona Theatre Company's 2015 National Latino Playwriting Award (NLPA), and the recipient of the $1000 prize. 2015 marks the 20th year of the competition.
The National Latino Playwriting Award was established by Arizona Theatre Company Artistic Director David Ira Goldstein and Playwright-in-Residence Elaine Romero to create a greater awareness of the work being done by Latino and Latina playwrights across the nation.
Olmos's the living'life of the daughter mira weaves across time and generations as the premature baby Mira looks to her Labor and Delivery nurse as a mother figure, while she struggles to survive her first challenging weeks in a neonatal intensive care unit. Meanwhile, Mira's teenaged mother and uncompromising family clash as Mira's father struggles to keep a promise, made to his unborn daughter on a mysterious beach, in an aging blue Chevy Cassanova van.
"Our judges were struck by the rich language and impressed by the original world carved out in Matthew Paul Olmos's new work, the living'life of the daughter mira," Romero said. "They particularly admired the plasticity of time and space in the piece, and how the play continually tracked the unexpected. The play does all this while remaining rooted in the trueness of its characters. We wholeheartedly believe that Matthew Paul Olmos is a playwright to watch, and it is our honor to acknowledge him."
Olmos is a three-time recipient of the Sundance Institute Fellowship/Residency, a New Dramatists Resident Playwright, a 2015 Baryshnikov Arts Center Resident Artist, an Awardee of the Princess Grace Award in Playwriting, and the inaugural recipient of La Mama e.t.c.'s Ellen Stewart Emerging Playwright Award (selected by Sam Shepard), among many other awards and accolades. His work has been produced in theatres across the country, and he is currently at work on the drinking of an un'happy people about American nationalism, and the third play in a three-play cycle so go the ghosts of mexico, which focuses on the U.S./Mexico drug wars. Mr. Olmos was also the co-founder and former Artistic Director of woken'glacier theatre company and is a member of NoPassport with Caridad Svich, a reader for the NEA's New Play Development, and a regular essayist for The Brooklyn Rail's "In Dialogue" series and the New York Theatre Review.
The runner-up for the 2015 National Latino Playwriting Award is Martín Zimmerman's The Solid Sand Below, in which Julian Flores narrowly escapes a prison sentence to land in Iraq, where he's anything but a model soldier. But when an I.E.D. blast nearly costs him his
life, something changes for Flores. Soon the adrenaline, clarity, and intimacy of battle become something he can't live without—even after he returns home.
"Martín Zimmerman bravely tackles the ongoing reverberations of having served in war in his brave piece, The Solid Sand Below," says Romero. "Once the war stops on the outside, Zimmerman's beautifully crafted protagonist, Julian Flores, continues to wage a personal war on the inside long after the war's perpetrators have gone."
Zimmerman's work has been produced or developed at The Kennedy Center, Goodman Theatre, Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, La Jolla Playhouse, Victory Gardens Theater, The Eugene O'Neill Theater Center's National Playwrights Conference, The Playwrights' Center, Allliance Theatre, PlayPenn, Chicago Dramatists, Teatro Vista, Borderlands Theater, and Rattlestick Playwrights Theater, among many others. He is the recipient of numerous prizes and awards, including the Terrence McNally New Play Award, Humanitas Prize New Voices Award, Sky Cooper New American Play Prize, McKnight Advancement Grant, Jerome Fellowship, Carl Djerassi Playwriting Fellowship, National New Play Network's Smith Prize, and a Core Apprenticeship at The Playwrights' Center. Mr. Zimmerman was also a member of the 2011-2012 Playwrights' Unit at Goodman Theatre, is a Playwright-in-Residence at Teatro Vista, a Resident Playwright at Chicago Dramatists, and has been a finalist for the Kendeda Competition, Heideman Award, and the Bay Area Playwrights Festival.
Previous winners of the National Latino Playwriting Award have been finalists for the Pulitzer Prize, and featured at the Humana Festival and regional theaters across the country. Recent winner The River Bride by Marisela Treviño Orta was recently announced for its world premiere at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival next season. Edwin Sànchez's La Bella Familia, Michael Mejias's Ghetto Babylon, and Kristiana Colón's Octagon were given staged readings in ATC's Café Bohemia new play reading series as part of the award. Other past recipients of the NLPA include Kristoffer Diaz, Caridad Svich, Carlos Murillo, Luis Alfaro, Octavio Solis, Raul Garza and Karen Zacarías. Felix Pire's winning play The Origins of Happiness in Latin was produced by ATC.
The 2015 National Latino Playwriting Award is supported by an Art Works grant from the National Endowment of the Arts as part of ATC's company-wide Voices of A New America initiative.
Submissions for the 2016 National Latino Playwriting Award are now open. Latino and Latina playwrights residing in the United States, its territories or Mexico are encouraged to submit scripts for the award.

Academy Award-nominee Ralph Fiennes (The English Patient; The Grand Budapest Hotel; Oedipus at the National Theatre) plays Jack Tanner in this exhilarating reinvention of Bernard Shaw’s witty, provocative classic.
“Out of this world. Ralph Fiennes flies high as Bernard Shaw’s Superman.” – Metro
Jack Tanner, celebrated radical thinker and rich bachelor, seems an unlikely choice as guardian to the alluring heiress, Ann. But she takes it in her assured stride and, despite the love of a poet, she decides to marry and tame this dazzling revolutionary. Tanner, appalled by the whiff of domesticity, is tipped off by his chauffeur and flees to Spain, where he is captured by bandits and meets The Devil. An extraordinary dream-debate, heaven versus hell, ensues. Following in hot pursuit, Ann is there when Tanner awakes, as fierce in her certainty as he is in his. A romantic comedy, an epic fairytale, a fiery philosophical debate, Man and Superman asks provocative, fundamental questions about how we all live. (Running time: 240 mins., includes intermission)

Sentimental pirates, blundering policeman, absurd adventures and improbable paradoxes – Gilbert and Sullivan’s dazzling The Pirates of Penzance comes to the English National Opera in a highly anticipated new production from renowned filmmaker Mike Leigh (Mr. Turner, Topsy- Turvy), directing his first-ever opera for the stage.
“Pricelessly funny … an entirely delightful evening.” – Stage
This much-loved comic opera is a showcase of brilliant humor and razor-sharp wit and features a sparkling score chock-full of memorable melodies and catchy tunes, including “A Policeman’s Lot is Not a Happy One” and “I am the Very Model of a Modern Major General.” With stylish designs from Alison Chitty, this vibrant production is conducted by David Parry. The superb cast includes the ever-versatile Andrew Shore as the very model of a modern Major-General, Jonathan Lemalu as the affectionate parody of the British bobby, Robert Murray as the innocent pirate-apprentice Frederic, and Rebecca de Pont Davies as the older woman who has designs on him.
