Our honoree, David Binder, has spent the last decade bringing alternative audiences and new artists to the theater. He produced the first Broadway revival of Lorraine Hansberrys classic A Raisin in the Sun starring Sean Combs which won two Tony awards and was also recognized for the incredibly young and diverse audience it brought to the theater. David is also the original producer of the rocknroll musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Other productions include the long-running smash De la Guarda, Lisa Krons 2.5 Minute Ride and Kenneth Lonergans Lobby Hero. A long-time friend of Performance Space 122s, we wanted to honor Davids work as an adventurous off-Broadway producer and a supporter of our work.
The evening will begin at 6:00 p.m. with cocktails and dinner for our Sponsors, Patrons, and VIP guests and continue with performances and dancing for a larger group of performers, theater lovers, and members of the citys arts community. Celebrity DJs Johnny Dynell, Billy Beyond and The Lady Miss Kier will keep the party hopping and our annual art auction -featuring work from Charles Atlas, Josef Astor, Amy Sillman, Patrick McMullan, Patricia Field and more – is sure to be a highlight. We hope you will join us for what promises to be one of the most exciting events of the season.
