Each year our Gala supports A.R.T.’s artistic productions and educational offerings, which center the theater’s mission and vision of expanding the boundaries of theater through programs that engage our hearts, minds, and bodies and imagine collective pathways forward.
Our 2022 Gala commemorates the achievements of the actors, directors, designers, producers, and administrators whose passion, dedication, rigor, and risk-taking have been at the heart of A.R.T.’s programs over the past four decades.
