The Dramatists Guild mourns the loss of composer/lyricist Steven Lutvak who passed away at the age of 64.

Best known for co-writing the score to the Tony Award-winning musical "A Gentleman's Guide to Love And Murder" with Robert L. Freedman, Steven first joined the Guild in 1982.

His other musicals include "Campaign of the Century," "Almost September," "The Wayside Motor Inn," "Esmeralda," and "Hannah Senesh." Additional works by Steven have been performed at the Berkshire Theatre Festival, La Mama ETC, Weill Recital Hall and the New York Shakespeare Festival.

Steven was the recipient of the Johnny Mercer Emerging American Songwriting Award, the ASCAP Foundation Richard Rodgers New Horizons Award, and was the only two-time recipient of the Jonathan Larson Performing Arts Foundation Grant.

He was also a proud adjunct professor at his alma mater, the NYU Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program.

May his memory be a blessing.
