Boshak, Executive Director of the Princess Grace Foundation-USA shared, "It is our pleasure to announce the 2018 Princess Grace Award winners, who represent some of the nation's most outstanding emerging performing artists. We look forward to following these artists' careers and continuing to help them throughout their artistic journeys. This year's Princess Grace Statue Award recipients, choreographer Kyle Abraham and director Sam Gold have excelled in their crafts, creating groundbreaking work and enriching the artistic landscape for the 21st century.
