The Alliance of Resident Theatres/New York (A.R.T./New York), the service organization for New York City's not-for-profit theatre community, salutes Daphne Rubin-Vega at their annual gala on June 11 at the legendary Rainbow Room.

Event highlights include: a performance by Daphne and some very special friends; presentation of the Abe L. Blinder Award to Daphne by Law and Order star Jesse L. Martin; silent and live auctions, featuring VIP tickets to "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report," a collection of Pulitzer Prize-winning plays signed by every living recipient of the award and other exciting items; cocktails and dinner; celebrity guests and much more.

All proceeds benefit A.R.T./New York's myriad services on behalf of its nearly 375 member theatres.
