Two U of G masters students in theatre have recently been recognized for their work to advance the arts.

D’bi Young is the recipient of a 2010 K.M. Hunter Artist Award, which supports projects that advance an individual’s career. The awards are given in the disciplines of dance, interdisciplinary arts, literature, music, theatre and visual arts. Recipients are chosen by experienced artists from a selection of grant applications recommended by Ontario Arts Council juries.

In addition, Gil Garrett has received a Heather McCallum Scholarship. The award was established in 1987 by the Canadian Association for Theatre Research to honour McCallum, the former director of the theatre department at the Metropolitan Toronto Reference Library.
