 * 1) ✅ The claim regarding artistic director was added, albeit with a different citation, as the one provided was a dead URL.
 * 2) ✅ The New Yorker reference was added.
 * 3) ❌ The references for the claim regarding the subject "studying acting at Illinois State University" were not added, as the claim was omitted. It is generally the case that undergraduate work is omitted while only post-graduate degrees are mentionable.
 * 4) ❌ The claims regarding the Spalding Gray award, the Creation Fund Award and the ZKB Patronage Prize were not added, because they are not independently notable in Wikipedia. For an award to be independently notable, a Wikipedia article should already exist on the subject.
 * 5) ✅ The claims regarding the Doris Duke PA Award, the Guggenheim Fellowship and the Foundation for CA Grant to artists award were added to the article for the same reason stated in number 4 above.
 * 6) ✅ The claim regarding the Whitney was added.
 * 7) ❌ The claim regarding Greene Naftali Gallery was omitted per WP:NOTADIRECTORY item #7.
