“I'm thrilled to be honoring Sarah L. Douglas and John Weidman at CSC's Gala on November 13, which is raising funds to support our wonderful season and mission,” says Artistic Director Jill Rafson. “These honorees are particularly deserving of being in the spotlight, as they have made an incredible impact in this industry in roles that often remain in the shadows. Sarah is an influential theatrical agent with an extensive career supporting some of our greatest artists; and John has written the books of some of the most inventive musicals of our time. I couldn't be more excited to celebrate their work and CSC with an evening of unforgettable performances!”
The 2023 Gala co-chairs are Lynn F. Angelson, Matt Benjamin, Ilyssa Coghlan, and Matthew Grossman. The honorary chairs are LaChanze and Jeanine Tesori.
