Semi-finalists for the $25,000 Sondheim Prize (artists from the District listed in bold):
Becky Alprin, Laura Amussen, Rachel Bone, Ryan Browning, Mandy Burrow, Linda Day Clark, Brent Crothers, Melissa Dickenson, Eric Finzi, Laurie Flannery, Shaun Flynn, Dawn Gavin, Geoff Grace, Maren Hassinger, Kay Hwang, Courtney Jordan, Bridget Sue Lambert, Youngmi Song Organ, Beverly Ress, James Rieck, Christopher Saah, Lynn Silverman, Molly Springfield, Pamela Phatsimo Sunstrum, Calla Thompson, Edward Winter, Erin WomackMany fewers artists from the capital this year than in last year's crop.
James Rieck teaches at Corcoran so I think we should consider him as an artist "from the district." And I would also argue that Prof. Dawn Gavin from U-MD might be included as well. For my part, the Sondheim Prize deadlines didn't work for me this year but I'm looking forward to the show.
