FAIRVIEW of Jackie Sibblies Drury Wins Pulitzer 2019 Theater Award

Dana Canedy, Pulitzer Prize Administrator, has announced that Fairview of Jackie Sibblies Drury has officially won the Pulitzer Prize for Theater 2019. This year's finalists included Clare Barron's Dance Nation and What the Constitution Means for Me by Heidi Schreck.

Fairview has sold out at Soho Rep, the Berkeley Repertory Theater and the Theater for a New Audience.

In Fairview, the Frasier family is getting ready for her grandmother's birthday and Beverly needs this dinner to be perfect. In addition, the radio is on alert, her sister Jasmine is drinking, her husband Dayton does not help her, her brother Tyrone might not show up at all and his daughter Keisha is a typical teenager. While Beverly's hostess neuroticism begins to take over as her family behaves like a family, Keisha's teenage ill-being begins to look like something else.

This announcement marks the 103rd year of the awards. For more information on this year's and previous year's winners and finalists, please visit http://www.Pulitzer.org.
