The Drama League's annual Benefit Gala supports the Drama League's mission; proceeds from the Benefit Gala directly support the Drama League’s Audience Project and Director's Project, now celebrating its 25th Anniversary season. Your participation and support will help to sustain our program’s and continue to contribute to our success.

Held in the Rainbow Room, one of New York's premiere ballrooms, the Benefit Gala offers Drama League members the chance to celebrate the achievements of respected members of the theatre industry while enjoying the breathtaking view of the night skyline of Manhattan. The black tie affair begins with a cocktail reception, followed by a sumptuous dinner and an original musical revue which highlights the achievements of our honorees. Past honorees have included Chita Rivera, Cy Coleman, Rosie O'Donnell, Comden & Green, Jerry Zaks, Liz Smith, and, most recently, Roger Berlind.
