Photo Coverage: Albee and Hwang Honored at Cherry Lane Theat

The Cherry Lane Theatre, New York's longest running Off-Broadway theatre, unveiled its renovated home as part of its annual gala on April 3. Playwrights Edward Albee (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woof?) and David Henry Hwang (M. Butterfly), and renowned theatre lawyer John F. Breglio were honored with the Cherry Lane Legacy Award.

The gala was hosted by two-time Tony Award-winning actress Judith Ivey and featured special performances by "The West Wing"'s Dule Hill and many others.

"A landmark in Greenwich Village's cultural landscape, Cherry Lane Theatre serves as a vital lab for the development of new American works and the cultivation of a diverse, multigenerational audience. Their focus is the playwright as central to the dramatic event and the text as intrinsic to theatrical innovation and excellence. Indeed, as New York's oldest, continuously running Off-Broadway theater, the Cherry Lane has helped to define American drama, fostering quality theater that is daring and relevant, for over 80 years," according to press notes.
