Stage and screen stars Bebe Neuwirth and Al Pacino, along with Michael J. Stengel, will be honored at The Actors Fund’s annual gala to be held on Monday, May 23 at the New York Marriott Marquis.


Pacino, who recently starred in The Merchant of Venice on Broadway, will be presented with the Lee Strasberg Artistic Achievement Award.

Neuwirth, currently appearing in The Addams Family, will receive The Actors Fund Medal of Honor in recognition of her 12 years of services as a trustee of The Actors Fund, and the founder of The Dancers’ Resource–a program of The Fund aimed at relieving the particular emotional and physical challenges faced by dancers.

Stengel, Vice President, Market General Manager for New York City’s Marriott & Renaissance Hotels, will also receive a medal from the Fund, to recognize the Marriott Marquis’ commitment to Broadway and Times Square.

In addition to the awards ceremony, the event will include special tribute performances by guests to be announced, as well as pre-entertainment cocktails and dinner.
