Named after the nineteeth-century actor who was also renowed for his intellect, the award promotes integration of the professional and academic theatre communities.

Past honorees include: The Royal Shakespeare Company (83), Ellen Stewart (84), Joseph Papp (89), Arthur Miller (92), Richard Foreman (97), Tony Kushner (02), Paula Vogel (05), and Karen Finley (08).
