The Barrow Group’s 2019 Spring Benefit

The Barrow Group will honor Emmy-nominated actress and The Barrow Group alumna Alison Wright, Manhattan Deputy Borough President Matthew Washington, and executive nonprofit leader and theater producer Andrew Hamingson at The Barrow Group’s 2019 Spring Benefit. Proceeds raised will help The Barrow Group continue to enrich the lives of over 2,400 patrons, students, and artists through the Company’s theatrical productions, readings, and performing arts classes. This annual benefit caps a 2018-2019 season that included a critically acclaimed revival of Martin Moran’s Obie Award-winning solo play, The Tricky Part, along with world premieres of two socially relevant new plays, K. Lorrel Manning’s AWAKE and Lyle Kessler’s Perp.

Presenters include Victoria Bailey, Theater Development Fund Executive Director, who will salute executive Mr. Hamingson; Douglas Durst, Chairman of The Durst Organization, who will salute Mr. Washington; and Joe Weisberg, creator, writer and executive producer of The Americans, who will salute Ms. Wright.

The evening’s program includes a performance of Ana Del Castillo’s Jump from a Plane along with a reading of a short play by a youth playwright in The Barrow’s Group’s First Fridays @TBG development program that features Michael Stahl-David (Narcos, The Black Donnellys, Cloverfield) and Larry Mitchell (HBO’s Paterno), among others.
