Two Musical Theater Creatives Score $100K Each from Kleban Foundation

Variety: Musical theater scribes Nathan Tysen (pictured above, right) and Arthur Perlman (above, left) have nabbed the 2014 Kleban Prize, the hefty annual award that comes with a $100,000 check for each of the award recipients.
The 24-year-old prize, which doles out honors to tuner lyricists and librettists, is awarded by the Kleban Foundation, the org named after the late Edward L. Kleban, lyricist of “A Chorus Line.” The funds are given to reward previous achievement and also to help artists support themselves as they create future work.
