It is intended to honor a playwright's body of work rather than an individual play. Nottage, who grew up in Brooklyn and graduated from both Brown and Yale universities, won the Pulitzer Prize last year for "Ruined," her drama about women in war-torn Congo. Her best-known work is 2003's "Intimate Apparel," about a young woman who goes to New York in 1905 to pursue her dreams and winds up working as a seamstress.
