In Scena! Italian Theater Festival NY announces Luca Garello's play When Men Used to be Men (Quando gli uomini erano uomini) as the winner of the 2021 Mario Fratti Award. The In Scena! Italian Theater Festival NY, previously postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, will return in spring 2022.

"Not being able to celebrate Italian theater as we do every year with In Scena! we have decided to at least continue the tradition of the Mario Fratti Award," said In Scena! Artistic Director, Laura Caparrotti.
