Anne Jackson, Eli Wallach, Elizabeth Wilson, et al. Set for An Evening Honoring Patricia Neal

Anne Jackson, Eli Wallach, Elizabeth Wilson, Betsy von Furstenberg, Cliff Robertson, and Anna Bergman will be on hand for An Evening Honoring Patricia Neal, to be presented by The Peccadillo Theater Company at the Players Club on Monday, April 12 at 6:30pm. Filmmaker Rick McKay will emcee the evening, beginning with clips of his interview with Patricia Neal from his award-winning documentary, Broadway: the Golden Age.

As previously announced, Neal will be the recipient of Peccadillo’s Legends of the American Theater Award. However, due to an unfortunate fall, she is recovering in a hospital in California and is unable to fly to New York to be part of the evening’s festivities.

Neal won the first-ever Tony Award for her performance as Regina Hubbard in Hellman’s Another Part of the Forest (1946). She also appeared on Broadway in the original production of The Miracle Worker (1959) and, on screen, in The Fountainhead (1949) and in Hud (1963), for which she won an Academy Award. The evening includes open bar, hors d’oeuvres service and jazz piano music.

The benefit will support Peccadillo’s upcoming production of Another Part of the Forest.

Tickets are $150 per person, $250 per couple. Call 212-633-6533 or visit www.thepeccadillo.com.
