They brought home a wall-filling banner by pop artist Roy Lichtenstein, which had a dotty seascape cut into its cloth. And a tabletop set of soft drums made of canvas by his colleague-in-pop Claes Oldenburg. Also, a colourful set of abstractions: squares within squares by Josef Albers of the Bauhaus.

Chosen from among four finalists by a panel of other theater professionals, playwright Aleshea Harris said winning the 2021 Hermitage Greenfield Prize feels like “ultimate pat on the back.”
Presented by the Hermitage Artist Retreat and the Greenfield Foundation, the prize, previously known as the Greenfield Prize, is a $30,000 commission for a new work that rotates each year among creators of theater, music and visual arts. Harris joins previous playwriting winners Craig Lucas, John Guare, Nilo Cruz and Martyna Majok.
Harris, the Obie-winning playwright of “Is God Is” and “What to Send Up When it Goes Down,” has been winning attention and numerous other honors off-Broadway and in theaters around the country for works that build off personal experiences to tell broader stories in an often gritty style.
