The Fred Ebb Foundation has announced Tidtaya Sinutoke and Isabella Dawis as the recipients of the seventeenth annual Fred Ebb Award for aspiring musical theatre songwriters.

The $60,000 award recognizes excellence in musical theatre songwriting by an emerging songwriter or songwriting team and is given with the purpose of encouring and supporting songwriters to create new musical theatre works. The Fred Ebb Foundation is funded by royalties from longtime Dramatists Guild member Fred Ebb’s vast catalogue of work.
