Adding Machine, the Musical Book and Lyrics by Fran Handman
Citation for Excellence in Playwriting

A satirical look at Mr. Zero, a prototype for society’s disenfranchised, subculture of slaves bred to spend their lives grinding away at mindless, dead-end jobs. In his frustration, Mr. Zero is potentially dangerous. He is a bigot and a murderer. It is only in the Elysian Fields where he experiences a rare moment of joy and freedom that there may yet be hope for him.
