Heather Hitchens, President of The American Theatre Wing commented: "Every year, we see the impact that Off- and Off-Off-Broadway has in shaping empathy through the impressive work on stage. In the last five years, we've been privileged to receive unequalled guidance from Michael Feingold, and as we look towards the future of the Obies, we are fortunate to have two incredible thought leaders and artists in Rachel and Sam. We look forward to seeing their wisdom and insight enhance the Obies this year.
