Coco Medvitz, recipient of this year's Priscilla Newton Undergraduate Scholarship in Theater Arts, said she values the scholarship both for the financial support it provides and for the affirmation of the importance of women in theater.

"It feels especially significant because there is not a lot of support for women in this business. The essence of the award--that it is intended to support a woman student--is encouraging because it recognizes the value of women in this field." (Photo: Barbara McKenna)
