Signature Theatre has announced plans for its Signature Theatre Annual Gala celebration, which will take place on April 18. The event, which will be held at Pershing Square Signature Center, will celebrate Signature’s 25th anniversary and honor founding artistic director James Houghton’s leadership of the company on the occasion of his final season as artistic director.
The celebratory evening will feature highlights from Signature’s first 25 years, including music, live performance, and video, with Signature’s board chairman Edward Norton (Birdman), Alumnus Ty Burrell (Modern Family), playwrights in residence, and many more.
Under Houghton’s leadership Signature Theatre launched three distinct residency programs; produced more than 100 plays; built The Pershing Square Signature Center; created the Signature Ticket Initiative, designed to create accessibility to theater for all; and became the first New York City recipient of the Regional Theater Tony Award.
