Theater Director/Performance Artist Patrick Kennelly, Playwright Sheila Callaghan win recognition as emerging artists
An alumna of the department's playwriting program and a current student in the UCLA Department of Theater's directing program, are among this year's recipients of Princess Grace Awards.
Alumna Sheila Callaghan MFA '97, a playwright who has been widely produced and published in the U.S. and abroad, has received a Princess Grace Works in Progress Award. Patrick Kennelly, a working director and performance artist who is also an MFA directing candidate, has received a scholarship.
The Awards are part of the effort to continue the legacy of Grace Kelly, Princess of Monaco, who in Her lifetime anonymously helped many young artists pursue their goals. The Awards will be presented at a black-tie gala on October 15, in New York City.
The work of Sheila Callaghan has been produced by, among others, the Soho Rep, Playwright's Horizons, The Playwrights Foundation, Clubbed Thumb, South Coast Repertory, Actor's Theater of Louisville and Moving Arts and it has been produced internationally in New Zealand, Norway, Germany and the Czech Republic. Her plays include "Scab," "Crawl Fade to White," "We are Not These Hands," "Kate Crackernuts," "That Pretty Pretty; Or The Rape Play" and "Fever/Dream." Several of her plays have been published by Playscripts.com and Samuel French, and her monologues can be found in most major anthologies.
The work of Patrick Kennelly has been presented in Los Angeles at such venues as Highways Performance Space, Track 16 and CrazySpace. His theatrical work has included original plays, large-scale performance installations and image-based physical theater productions. He has directed the work of Amiri Baraka, Maria Irene Fornes, Franz Xaver Kroetz, Charles Mee, Suzan Lori-Parks, and Sam Shepard, among others. His most recent project was a trailblazing production of Sarah Kane's controversial and rarely performed play, "Cleansed" at UCLA's Freud Playhouse.
