Tony Award winners Donna McKechnie and Brian Stokes Mitchell will headline An Intimate Night, the Manhattan Theatre Club’s annual winter benefit, which will take place on Monday, January 23 at the Rainbow Room (30 Rockefeller Plaza). A third performer will be announced shortly.

The evening begins with a 7pm cocktail reception, followed by dinner at 8pm and the show at 9:15pm. All monies raised from this annual event will benefit MTC’s extensive educational outreach programs, as well as its musical theatre and play development activities. Kitty Carlisle Hart and Liz Smith are the event’s Honorary Chairs.

McKechnie won her Tony for A Chorus Line, and has also been seen on Broadway in On the Town, Promises, Promises, Company, and State Fair. Mitchell won his Tony for Kiss Me, Kate, and has starred in Man of La Mancha, Ragtime, and King Hedley II. He will appear on January 12 at the Allen Room as part of Lincoln Center’s American Songbook series and will co-star with Marin Mazzie in the City Center Encores! production of Kismet in February.

Tickets to An Intimate Night are $1,000-$2,500. For more information, call 212-399-3000, ext. 146.
