The American Theatre Wing again honored the unsung heroes of the theatre industry at its 2024 gala September 9 at Cipriani 42nd Street. The evening featured performances from a roster of Broadway favorites, who each got a chance to shine a spotlight on their own personal unsung hero, from dressers who execute seamless quick changes to makeup artists responsible for the flawless faces seen on stage.

All of the proceeds from the Gala go to the American Theatre Wing’s variety of programs, including The Andrew Lloyd Webber Initiative, The Jonathan Larson Grants, National Theatre Company Grants, The Playreaders Club (in partnership with The Drama Book Shop), and producing ATW’s Emmy Award nominated Working in the Theatre Series.

Produced by Staci Levine, the concert program was led by music director Benjamin Rauhala. The Wing is also hosting a digital auction on Charity Buzz that continues through September 19.

The American Theatre Wing—founder and co-presenter (with The Broadway League) of the Tony Awards and the home to the Obie Awards—is a not-for-profit organization founded on the eve of America’s entry into WWI by seven suffragists and theatre makers to support the nation by harnessing the power of theatre. ATW’s work continues to be driven by the belief that theatre is essential to the economic, educational, and social and emotional well-being of society.
