Mel Brooks, Angela LaGreca, Joe Pintauro, David Salle, and Robert F.X. Sillerman, will receive awards for their work in Performing Arts, Literary Arts, Visual Arts and Leadership, and Philanthropic Endeavors at The Guild Hall’s 23rd Annual Lifetime Achievement Awards, to take place at The Rainbow Room, Monday March 3.

Brooks is currently represented on Broadway by Young Frankenstein. The 2001 production of his musical The Producers won 12 Tonys, the most of any production in the award’s history. Pintauro’s many plays include Cacciatore, Moving Targets, and The Dead Boy.

Guild Hall’s Academy of the Arts was formed in 1985 as the first center in the United States to provide a museum, theater and community meeting place under one roof. Since 1931, Guild Hall has engaged the community in cultural events that embrace all the arts and has been a home to the artistic community.
