Summer Crockett Moore and Sharon Maguire are co-chairs of the event.

The cocktail reception begins at 6:00 pm, and is followed by the awards presentation hosted by TSS alum Julie Halston. A special VIP dinner with the honorees will cap the evening. Tickets are available for the cocktails and awards presentation portion of the evening with a limited number of dinner tickets are available.

Terry Schreiber raved about this year's honorees. "We are thrilled to give these awards to present artists in the theatre," he explained. "Judith Light, Amy Ryan, John Patrick Shanley and Roma Torre have contributed immensely to the New York theatre scene, and I am grateful to honor their deep commitment to our beloved city and its artistic endeavors." he explained.

Past recipients include Roger Berlind, Betty Buckley, Ellen Burstyn, John Guare, Anne Jackson, Cynthia Nixon, Mary-Louise Parker, Gerald Schoenfeld, Marian Seldes, and Eli Wallach.
