Pulitzer Prize, Grammy, Emmy, and Tony winner Lin-Manuel Miranda will be honored by New York City's Town Hall May 19.
The inaugural event, Spring Shout, is a fundraiser for the historic Times Square cultural epicenter founded by Suffragists in 1921. The celebration will feature surprise guests and performances, weaving together the past, present, and future of the venue.
Miranda will be recognized for his work across multiple artistic disciplines, including film, theatre, and music, as an artist who is paving the way for greater representation and diversity in the arts by breaking cultural boundaries.
鈥淲e are thrilled to honor my colleague and friend Lin-Manuel, whose work embodies the very essence of Town Hall鈥檚 legacy and mission鈥攂lending artistic excellence, community impact, and civic engagement,鈥� said Nevin Steinberg, president of the Board of Trustees for The Town Hall Foundation in a statement. 鈥淗is boundless creativity and commitment to championing diverse voices perfectly align with The Town Hall's mission to amplify the future of the arts.鈥�
The event will also pay tribute to Town Hall鈥檚 Board President Emeritus Tom Wirtshafter, with the Town Hall Friend of the Arts Award. Under Wirtshafter's leadership, Town Hall grew from $3 million to over $6 million, establishing the business model that still propels the Hall, and orchestrated the theatre's robust post-Covid return.
Spring Shout will include a cocktail party, a pre-show champagne reception, a series of performances, live auction, award presentation, and after party. For more information visit .
