The David Birney Award For Excellence In The Theatre Arts
The David Birney Award for Excellence in the Theatre Arts was established in 1980 by David Birney '61. The award is a cash prize, part of which is a contribution from the David Birney Fan Club. The award is given each year, according to the donor's specifications, "to the student making the most significant contribution to the theater at Dartmouth during the previous year…Two qualities are to be considered: (1) the student's contribution should embody, or aspire to, a standard of excellence, a deep concern for the quality of the craft; (2) since craft without passion is, I think, a dead thing, the student should evidence a genuine passion, a substantial emotional commitment to the art of the theater." A committee consisting of two students and members of the Department of Theater faculty determines the recipient of the award.
