New York Stage and Film is thrilled to announce that its annual Winter Gala will honor six-time Tony Award-nominated producer and philanthropist Diana DiMenna, and Academy Award and four-time Golden Globe-nominated and Tony Award-winning actor and producer Tom Hulce.

The evening includes cocktails, an auction, dinner, and entertainment from special guests in celebration of Diana DiMenna and Tom Hulce.
"This year we are excited to be honoring two forces in the theater, who have developed works that have been seen at New York Stage and Film, on Broadway, and beyond," said Artistic Director Christopher Burney. "Between Diana DiMenna's philanthropic and theatrical accomplishments, and Tom Hulce's storied career on stage, screen, and behind-the-scenes, audiences have gained a greater understanding about where we've come from as a society and what connects us all."
