Isaac Asimov Award

The late Dr. Isaac Asimov is most notably recognized for his prolific literary contributions to popular science and science fiction. Incidentally, he was an outspoken fan of New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players, and his tremendous love for the works of Gilbert & Sullivan inspired him to publish his own annotated anthology. We remember Dr. Asimov's patronage annually by honoring a dedicated member of the company in his name.
