Actors’ Temple Centennial Gala

The Actors’ Temple celebrates its centennial with an entertainment-packed dinner and show. The Temple, which has served as a spiritual home, meeting place, and performance venue for generations of show business professionals and luminaries, honors actresses Tovah Feldshuh, Jackie Hoffman (both of whom will perform at the gala), and Barbara Bova. Featured entertainers are Andrew Beall (composer of Song of Solomon), singers Anna Bergman and Adrienne Haan, comedian Bob Greenberg, and concert violinist Marina Kifferstein.

The event, produced by Carol Ostrow, supports the temple’s mission to provide a dynamic spiritual home for Jews and a creative home for Jewish and non-Jewish artists who can use its affordable jewel-box theater — a unique resource for New York’s wide-ranging theater community— in the heart of Hell’s Kitchen. A 100th Year Capital Campaign to preserve the temple’s historic building at 339 West 47th Street is also being launched. Constructed in 1923, the Actors’ Temple building is a federally designated national landmark.
