Go Inside the American Theatre Wing's Antoinette Gala Celebrating Women in Theatre

Playbill: Some of Broadway's brightest theatre makers and theatre supporters gathered September 12 at New York City's Cipriani 42nd Street for the annual American Theatre Wing gala, the first in-person event following a two-year pandemic hiatus. This year's Antoinette Gala honored the legacy of Antoinette Perry and women in theatre.

There really is a lot to celebrate about woman in the theatre industry. It wasn’t relatively too long ago when women weren’t allowed to perform on stage. There is also a long history of them being mistreated as well following a lack of representation. We are slowing coming to a better time and now we have events that celebrate us. The line up of performances seem like a sight to be seen. I would have loved to be there. I am glad that there were able to make about a million dollars, but I would have hoped that a huge event like this could have been able to raise a bit more in funds. Especially because of the money floating around in this industry. Although it does seem that covid has put quite the wrench in the industry. I hope that they were able to raise enough to cover the needs that they hoped to cover.
