PEN/Laura Pels

The Laura Pels Foundation Awards for Drama, commonly referred to as the PEN/Laura Pels Award, annually recognizes two American playwrights. A medal is given to a designated master American dramatist, in recognition of their work, and a stipend of $7,500 (in 2005) is presented to an American playwright whose literary and artistic merit is evident in their plays.

In 2005, the Master American Dramatist was Wallace Shawn. Dael Orlandersmith was awarded with a mid-career award.
