MacIvor wins the Siminovitch Prize

Canada's largest theatre prize, the Elinore and Lou Siminovitch Prize in Theatre, was awarded last evening to Daniel MacIvor.

MacIvor was chosen from a fine list of five finalists which included Toronto's Morwyn Brebner and Colleen Murphy, Daniel Danis of St-David de Falardeau, Que., and Larry Tremblay of Montreal.

The winning prize amount is a healthy $100,000. From this amount $25,000 is given to a protege or organization of choice. MacIvor's proteges were from Vancouver, playwrights Daniel Arnold and Medina Hahn.

In 2006 MacIvor won the Governor General's award for his collection of five plays called I still Love You. His work includes the plays See Bob Run, Wild Abandon, The Soldier Dreams, You Are Here, How It Works, His Greatness, and A Beautiful View.

His recent solo works; House, Here Lies Henry and Monster were seen at the Buddies in Bad Times Theatre and were all a hit among critics and audiences.
