"We're thrilled to welcome the artists of Cambodian Rock Band and The Market Theatre Laboratory to TCG's Gala," said Teresa Eyring, executive director, TCG. "Together, they represent the vitality and interconnectedness of our global theatre movement, which is also embodied by our honorees. Ricardo Khan and Crossroads Theatre Company have fostered a long and meaningful relationship with The Market Theatre, and the Performing Arts Alliance continues to advocate at the federal level for policies that support international exchange. We hope theatre people from around the world will join us to celebrate."

The Our Stories Gala will be held virtually and take place between the two parts of TCG's Virtual Conference: Our Theatre Ecology. Recent honorees at the Our Stories gala included David Henry Hwang, the National Black Theatre Festival, and Rick Miramontez
