Signature Theatre will celebrate the millionth subsidized ticket offered under the groundbreaking Signature Ticket Initiative during its annual gala, to be held Monday, March 11, at the Pershing Square Signature Center. The event will also honor Citi CEO Michael Corbat, a longtime partner of the theater company.

This year's gala will include special appearances by Residency 5 playwrights Dave Malloy, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, and Dominique Morisseau, with performances by Signature alumni Tonya Pinkins, Paul Sparks, Lili Taylor, and theater cast members from Dave Malloy's Octet, which will have its world premiere at Signature this spring.

In addition to celebrating Corbat and the Signature Ticket Initiative, the gala will raise funds for Signature's playwright residencies and productions.
