Guild Hall’s 39th Annual Academy of the Arts Achievement Awards Dinner will be take place on Tuesday, April 22, from 6 to 10 p.m. at The Rainbow Room in New York City. The Academy of the Arts, established in 1985, is a community of over 200 of the nation’s most accomplished artists and creative professionals who lend their talent and expertise to Guild Hall.
This year, Guild Hall will honor artist Eric Fischl with the Chairman’s Award for Service to the Academy and Linda Lindenbaum with the Special Award for Leadership and Philanthropy. Additionally, nine new inductees to the Academy of the Arts will be recognized, including Katie Couric, Neil Patrick Harris, Sheree Hovsepian, Jane Krakowski, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Joseph M. Pierce, David Rockwell, Jeffrey Seller, and Almond Zigmund. This special evening is hosted by newly appointed Academy President Susan Stroman and guests will be treated to a performance by Broadway favorites Tony Yazbeck and Seth Rudetsky.
“This year marks the Academy’s fourth decade, a perfect occasion to honor Eric Fischl and Linda Lindenbaum for their unwavering dedication to Guild Hall while welcoming Susan Stroman as the first female Academy president,” said Andrea Grover, executive director of Guild Hall.
Susan Stroman is a five-time Tony Award winning director and choreographer most known for “Crazy for You,” “Contact,” “The Scottsboro Boys” and “The Producers.” Her work has been honored with Olivier, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, Lucille Lortel and a record six Astaire Awards.
