Playwright Adam Bock ’84 has been awarded a 2012 fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. Bock won an Obie Award in 2006 for his play “The Thugs,” and was nominated for two 2007-2008 Outer Critics Circle Awards.

In 2006, the New York Times described “The Thugs,” as “a delightfully paranoid little nightmare that is both more chillingly realistic and pointedly absurd than anything John Grisham ever dreamed up.”
