Sara Fellini and Adam Belvo accept the award for Outstanding Premiere Production of a Play

Creative partners from these organizations teamed up in 2015 to collaborate on the new play In Vestments by Sara Fellini. The result was an intense, frenetic and engaging work that left audiences feeling like they had experienced something powerful.
