Dateline: 16th May, 2004 New Edinburgh Fringe Award Debuts This Year The 2004 Edinburgh Fringe (8th to 30th August) will have a new award: the Carol Tambor Edinburgh to New York Award will take the award-winning production to a major New York theatre. "I just love being there," Miss Tambor, a New York-based portrait painter and businesswoman, told The Scotsman. "I thought that if I can’t get New Yorkers to come to the Fringe, maybe I can get part of the Fringe to New York." Fringe director Paul Gudgin is delighted at the news of the award. "What we are trying to do is create opportunities for the Fringe performers in Edinburgh that would not exist in any other festival," he said. "The idea is that a young theatre company could come to Edinburgh, get noticed and do a two-day showcase in a major off-Broadway venue. We would use that venue in New York as a platform to spread the word about the Fringe." The winning show, picked by a US panel of judges, would go to the Atlantic Theatre, a mjaor off-Broadway venue, in November for a showcase production attended by New York producers. Please note that all three Archive indices are very long and will therefore take some time to download.
