GALA PERFORMANCE UNDERWRITTEN BY
Dr. Taylor W. Lawrence and Dr. Ryan P. Shelhamer
Roundabout Theatre Company presents Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino with the Ovation Award for Excellence in Philanthropy, given to those who are committed to growing New York City arts and culture.
Scott Ellis will be presented with The Jason Robards Award for Excellence in Theatre, named after the late Jason Robards for his longstanding relationship with Roundabout and memorable body of stage work.
Black Theatre United will be presented with an Illumination Award for Humanitarian Action for their work to create a more just and inclusive theatre industry.
These awards are given to those who have made an indelible impact on both theatre and Roundabout.
All ticket and table purchases include dinner, an opportunity to bid in a spectacular Live Auction, and a special concert performance by Sutton Foster. Proceeds benefit Roundabout’s many programs, including Education at Roundabout which offers nationally recognized programs that use the stimulating power of the arts to inspire, engage, and promote social equity.
If you cannot join us, we hope you will consider making a fully tax-deductible donation to support Roundabout’s many programs.
For more information on the Gala, or for information on how to provide your support via check, wire transfer, or stock transfer, please contact events@roundabouttheatre.org or call 212-719-9393 x 369.
DONOR ADVISED FUNDS:
Please note that the IRS prohibits the use of Donor Advised Funds where more than an incidental benefit is received by the donor in return (e.g. event table/tickets, purchase of auction items). This prohibition applies regardless of whether the donor pays separately for the benefits received (i.e. the "non-deductible" amount). All table/ticket and auction purchases, therefore, must be funded personally outside of a Donor Advised Fund. For further guidance, please consult with your Donor Advised Fund administrator.
