The Drama League has announced plans to honor Tony and Emmy Award winner David Hyde Pierce (A Life, Hello, Dolly!) at the 33rd Annual Musical Celebration of Broadway, to be held on November 7 at the Plaza Hotel.
The black-tie gala will feature dozens of stars from Hollywood and Broadway in a one-night-only musical tribute supporting The Drama League’s educational initiatives for promising young artists.
The Drama League Benefit Gala helps to raise funds to support the educational training programs of The Drama League Directors Project, an award-winning initiative that began in 1982. The gala chairpersons are Anna May Feige and Stan Ponte, with vice-chairs Rebecca A. Gillan, Kathy Henderson, Mary Jain, Kari Nettles, Joseph and Lauren Pizza, Resolution Life, Elaine C. and W. Weldon Wilson, and Nadine Wong.
The Drama League of New York, founded in 1916, is one of the nation's oldest continuously operating not-for-profit arts-advocacy and education organizations. Through its programs, initiatives, and events, The Drama League serves over 3,000 artists and 15,000 audience members each season with over 150 events and programs.
