Tony Award winner Jerry Mitchell will be honored at the 24th annual Night of a Thousand Gowns, to be produced by The Imperial Court of New York at Times Square’s Marriott Marquis Hotel, on Saturday, March 27.

The fundraiser, which benefits Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and God’s Love We Deliver, will feature Broadway Bares performers in “Football Strip” and Stimulus Package,” as well as Broadway veteran Terri White, dance music artist Crystal Waters, dance-pop singer Kristine W., pop vocalist Kelly King, drag diva Coco Peru, and drag legend Jesse Volt.

The main event of the Ball is the midnight coronation of the next Imperial Court Monarchs. The event includes a full-course dinner, entertainment, Viennese Dessert Buffet, open bar, dancing, and a silent auction.

Mitchell, who will receive a knighthood from The Court, is being recognized for his charitable work as the creator and executive producer of Broadway Bares, which has benefited BC/EFA since 1992.
