La MaMa just honored film producer Joy Tomchin for her activism on behalf of the LGBTQ communities; Donn Russell for his commitment to and support of nontraditional theatre; and Roberta Uno for her leadership in philanthropy and cultural diversity at the annual La MaMa Gala, last night at La MaMa's Ellen Stewart Theatre (66 E. 4 St.).
Hosted by Honorary Chair Sarah Jessica Parker, the event included appearances and performances by Pua Ali'i 'Ilima o Nuioka (Hula Halau), Joey Arias, Justin Vivian Bond, Bridget Everett, and Rufus Wainwright. Tony Award-winner Scott Wittman (HAIRSPRAY) directed the evening's entertainment.
