Meet Sophie Simons - Our 2025 Epstein Award Recipient! New York Stage and Film offers the annual Dasha Epstein Fellowship to an emerging writer or director who is a student or alumni of Barnard College during the Summer Season. These young artists work with our staff and other professional mentors to hone their craft, and engage in their own creative projects within our vibrant artistic community. #nysafsummerseason #poughkeepsie @marist @artsmidhudson
