US/UK Exchange: The American winners

The waiting is over, the people have been met, the coffees have been drunk and we are now very happy to announce the American winners of the 2011 TS Eliot US/UK Exchange, in partnership with Old Vic New Voices…

If somehow you’ve missed us banging on about Old Vic New Voices’ tremendous TS Eliot US/UK Exchange, then let us explain: the Exchange is the ultimate transatlantic city swap for London and New York’s top young actors, writers, directors and producers.

The winning Americans will spend a week living in London, learning from top industry professionals, and developing plays to be performed on the historic The Old Vic stage.

If you missed out this year, don’t be downcast; we’ll be launching the TS Eliot Exchange all over again, right here on IdeasTap, in early 2012. Today, however, must belong to the 2011 winners. Out of 769 American applicants, here are the lucky 46 who will be going to London.

Congratulations guys. Take a bow.
