Edward Albee won an awarded from the MacDowell colony.
But doesn’t Albee run his own writers’ colony, the William Flanagan Memorial Creative Persons Center? What a kindly colony macdowell must be; not a jealous bone in its yard.
The MacDowell award was announced last week, but won’t be presented until August. Albee is only the third playwright to be given it. The Creative Persons Center is notifying its 2011 Fellows this week.
