Winton Sutton from the Theatre department has joined an illustrious group of people who have received the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Achievement Award which according to the citation is awarded “to a Black artist or cultural leader who has made significant contributions to the Canadian arts and culture landscape.”

Winston Sutton is described as an accomplished actor and director who has dedicated his life to the development of emerging theatre professionals. He was a part-time professor at Concordia University prior to becoming a permanent teacher here in the Theatre department in 1994, a position he still holds today. He also served as Artistic Director of Black Theatre Workshop from 1988-1993.

The Black Theatre Workshop Mentorship program has also selected three Dawson graduates to take part in this inspiring project. Congratulations to Patrick Abellard, Daniela Sandiford and Anton May who were chosen as mentees, and to Winston!
