Nicole Ari Parker will host the evening, which is set to include performances and appearances from Shoshana Bean, Brandon Victor Dixon, Adrienne Warren, Tamika Lawrence, Eisa Davis, Joy Woods, Elizabeth Judd, John Manzari, and more to be announced.
Kevin Cahoon is directing the event, with Rick Hip-Flores music directing and Thaddeus McCants writing. A live auction will be conducted by Robby Gordy.
鈥淟iesl Tommy is a visionary artist and a true groundbreaker,鈥� says Artistic Director Patricia McGregor in a statement. 鈥淗er career has blazed a path for so many others to follow鈥攎yself among them. I am moved that New York Theatre Workshop played a role in Liesl鈥檚 story, and I鈥檓 thrilled to be honoring her this spring.鈥�
鈥淟iesl Tommy embodies so many of the values of New York Theatre Workshop: curiosity, virtuosity, and breaking barriers," adds Executive Director Jeremy Blocker. "A former NYTW Fellow, she is now an inspiration for the many artists who have followed in her footsteps. We feel so lucky to count her as a member of our community.鈥�
Will Graham, Lynn Nottage, Jeremy Reff, William Morris Endeavor, and Schreck Rose Dapello Adams Berlin & Dunham LLP are chairing the gala. Tickets are available at .
