odd London has been a leading figure in the U.S. nonprofit theater for more than 35 years, in recognition of which he became the first recipient of Theatre Communications Group’s (TCG) Visionary Leadership Award for "an individual who has gone above and beyond the call of duty to advance the theatre field as a whole, nationally and/or internationally."
Todd’s service to the field has taken many shapes: artistic director, educator, arts journalist and essayist, public speaker, theater historian, and advocate for artist-centered practices. He has been honored in each of these roles. Under his artistic leadership, New Dramatists earned a special Tony® Honor and the Obie’s Ross Wetzsteon Award. He garnered the prestigious George Jean Nathan Award for Dramatic Criticism for his essays, a special honor from the Dramatists Guild of America for “extraordinary work on behalf of dramatists everywhere,” and a Miss Lilly Award for his support of women in the theater. In 2016 he received an Honorary Doctorate from the DePaul University schools of theatre and music.
Todd is also a novelist and won a Milestone Award for his debut novel, The World's Room. “Nothing I’ve read recently except poetry conveys the language of yearning the way this novel does,” claimed the judge in the best book category. “The author uses his double vision to make us laugh and break our hearts at the same time.”
