And the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for Drama goes to... NOBODY! The Pulitzer Prize committee of Columbia University have decided NOT to award a Pulitzer Prize for Drama this year. The last time they made such a decision was in 1997. But... if you want to catch a Pulitzer Prize winning play try one of the following (all info pulled from this site) "Rent" by Jonathan Larson (1996 Pulitzer Prize for Drama) Schonell Theatre, University of Qld, Closes 6 May "The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds" by Paul Zindel (1971 Pulitzer Prize for Drama) Centenary Theatre Group (Qld) 8-29 July "The Teahouse of the August Moon" by John Patrick (1954 Pulitzer Prize for Drama) Roleystone Theatre (WA) 5-20 May "Harvey" by Mary Chase (1945 Pulitzer Prize for Drama) Stirling Theatre (WA) 5-20 May

10 Year Itch?

Nine year cycle? Possibly... Since the early seventies they seem to have a very rough ten year cycle. No award 1974, 1986, 1997, 2006 Prize going to a musical 1976, 1985, 1996 So it seems to be about time it went to another musical There was talk of "Spelling Bee" being a contender, but no musical has even made the short-list since "Rent" won in 1996. Bit of trivia: Since the Tonys started "Sunday in the Park with George" is the only musical to win the Pulitzer and not go on to win the Tony. Hey Jeff... you in "Harvey"? funny... I'm in "Teahouse" :-)
