Tony Award-winner Harvey Fierstein hosted a May 24 party to celebrate the the 100th anniversary of Broadway's Helen Hayes Theatre originally the Little Theatre), which opened on March 12, 1912 with John Galsworthy's play The Pigeon.
This theatre opened as the Little Theatre in 1912. Later names included the Winthrop Ames, Anne Nichols' Little, Times Hall and finally, in 1983, the Helen Hayes Theatre. In the winter of 2007 the Hayes, owned and operated by Martin Markinson and Donald Tick, was spruced up with a renovated auditorium, new seats, carpeting, painting and restoration of the relief ceiling.
The piece stars Obie Award winner Jodie Markell as propagandist filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl, whose work in service of the Nazis defined the visual identity of Adolf Hitler's Third Reich.
