Alicia Keys & More to be Honored by the Arthur Miller Foundation

The annual Arthur Miller Foundation Honors will be held on Sunday, October 27, 2024 at Broadway’s Shubert Theatre. This year’s gala event will celebrate the 10th anniversary of Arthur Miller Foundation Theater Education Programs in partnership with NYC Public Schools while raising crucial program funds. The benefit will pay tribute to the power of theater education by honoring artists, educators, and advocates who have made significant contributions to the arts and arts education. This year’s honorees include 16-time Grammy Award winner Alicia Keys, Tony nominated playwright and Pulitzer Prize finalist Kristoffer Diaz, alongside musician and Keys’ former educator LINDA Aziza Miller.
 
AMF patrons are invited to attend the 3:00 PM matinee performance of HELL’S KITCHEN, followed by an awards ceremony on-stage at the Shubert Theatre, and a musical number showcasing NYC public school students as a tribute to Keys and the organization’s 10th anniversary milestone. Tickets and sponsorship packages will soon be available at https://arthurmillerfoundation.org/amfhonors/.
