Jake Gyllenhaal, currently back on Broadway starring as Iago in Othello opposite Denzel Washington at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre, will be honored by Manhattan Theatre Club at the company's 2025 Spring Gala, set for May 19 at Cipriani 42nd Street.
As previously announced, the event will be hosted by three-time Tony honoree Bernadette Peters, currently starring in MTC's Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre.
The honor is the latest in a long association between Gyllenhaal and the theatre company. The stage and screen star led MTC's 2015 production of Constellations, and served on the company's Board of Directors from 2015 to 2023.
The evening will also feature performances from Broadway's Maybe Happy Ending, Sunset Blvd., Old Friends, Dead Outlaw, and Operation Mincemeat, with additional shows to be announced.
Jason Michael Webb will music direct the event, with sound design by Leon Rothenberg and lighting design by Joel Shier. James Fitzsimmons and Jereme Kyle Lewis will serve as stage managers.
Proceeds raised will go towards the non-profit theatre company and its annual Broadway and Off-Broadway programming, as well as educational programs.
