Since its inception, the event has paid homage to luminaries such as Gloria Steinem, Whoopi Goldberg, Sutton Foster, LaChanze, Debra Messing, Audra McDonald, Vanessa Williams, Eve Ensler, Adrienne Warren, Dame Judi Dench, Kerry Washington, Vanessa Redgrave, and Chita Rivera, to name just a few. WP Theater’s Annual Gala delivers an inspiring, entertaining, star-studded night - featuring performances and special appearances from the brightest Broadway & Off-Broadway talent - in celebration of the accomplishments of vital Women+ across many disciplines in New York and beyond.
