“In recognition of the Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning composer’s 81st birthday, the Kennedy Center has announced the inaugural recipients of the Stephen Sondheim Inspirational Teacher Awards,” Playbill<\/em>-online reported on 22 March 2011.<\/p>\n

“The awards were initiated March 22, 2010, by Music Theatre International CEO Freddie Gershon and his wife Myrna, who fund the grant. MTI represents the licensing rights to the entire Sondheim catalogue.”<\/p>\n

“We realized,” Freddie said in his first blog about the award, “that we know a part of Steve that other people don’t, which is that he is much more than a great composer and lyricist and theater writer. There’s another legacy, which is his love of teaching.”<\/p>\n
