It was a great night for theatre when the creative team behind War Paint was celebrated at the Theatre Communications Group’s (TCG) Annual Gala.
The decades-long work of Honored Composer Scott Frankel, Director Michael Greif, Lyricist Michael Korie, and Playwright Doug Wright have resulted in some of the most reprised and iconic works of their generation, most recently War Paint, which just concluded its Broadway run after originating at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago, a TCG Member Theatre.
The evening featured special performances by actor Samuel E. Wright accompanied by Michael Forman, as well as also celebrating legacy in our national theatre field, as we honor the longstanding contributions made by theatre artists and trustees to make a better world for and because of theatre.
Also recognized was the National Council for the American Theatre, accepted by Chair Judith O. Rubin.
TCG Board Chair, Kevin Moriarty of Dallas Theater Center, gave the closing remarks: “I am moved by the complex and wonderful national theatre ecology we enjoy, with remarkable artists such as Doug, Michael, Scott, and Michael, resident theatres such as the Goodman–that invest in new work and giving it the highest visibility, and volunteer trustees who support the work at every stage.”
