Nominations Due for 2008 Rosetta LeNoire Award

Deadline February 15, 2008

Equity's National Equal Employment Opportunity Committee is accepting nominations for AEA's 2008 Rosetta LeNoire Award. Created in 1988, the award recognizes outstanding "artistic contributions to the universality of the human experience in American theatre" by either an individual, theatre or producing organization. Inherent in the award is acknowledgement that the recipient has an exemplary record in the hiring or promotion of ethnic minorities, female actors and actors with disabilities through multi-racial and/or non-traditional casting.

All nominations should be submitted in writing and must be accompanied by articles or testimonials that will help document how the nominee meets the guidelines for the award, citing background and any pertinent information in as much detail as possible. Material should be submitted to: Rosetta LeNoire Award Nominations, c/o Equal Employment Opportunity Committee, Actors' Equity Association, 165 West 46th Street, New York, NY 10036

The deadline is Friday, February 15, 2008. The award will be presented at the Equity Annual Membership Meeting in April. For more information about the Award, contact David Lotz, Communications Director, 212.869.8530 x 410.
