Former President Bill Clinton will be honored by the Irish Repertory Theatre at its 30th anniversary celebration, scheduled for June 17 at Alice Tully Hall.

The evening will honor Clinton for his work on the historic Good Friday Agreement, securing peace in Northern Ireland. The evening is directed by Irish Rep artistic director Charlotte Moore, with musical direction by John Bell. Ambassador Elizabeth Frawley Bagley, whom Clinton appointed as ambassador to Portugal (1994-97), is the gala chair.

Guest performers will include Judy Collins, who also sang at Clinton's 1992 inauguration. A list of additional performers is forthcoming.
