Irish Repertory Theatre will hold its annual gala on Monday, June 4, at Town Hall. The event will honor Irish Rep board member Tina Santi Flaherty, and will celebrate the work of musical-theater writer Alan Jay Lerner.

The concert will feature songs from Lerner's musicals Brigadoon, My Fair Lady, Camelot, and more, as well as a preview of Irish Rep's upcoming production of Lerner and Burton Lane's On a Clear Day You Can See Forever.

On a Clear Day stars Melissa Errico, Stephen Bogardus, and John Cudia will be on hand to perform, as will Oscar winner Jeremy Irons, Donna Kane, Maryann Plunkett, and David Staller, among others. Charlotte Moore will direct, with musical direction by John Bell.

The performance will be preceded by a private cocktail hour and followed by dinner at Bryant Park Grill.
