Urban Stages’ Board of Directors and founding artistic director Frances Hill will celebrate 35 years of Off-Broadway plays/musicals and art programming at The Central Park Boathouse on Mon May 15 at 6:30 PM. This year Urban Stages' will celebrate the Year of Women by recognizing Broadway’s Donna Murphy and celebrated artist Edwina Sandys with Urban Stages’ 2019 Lifetime Achievement Awards. The gala fundraiser will note Urban Stages’ history of premiering new plays/musicals that go on to bigger venues and/or publications, championing up-and-coming artists who then sustain long careers, and making art and theater available for all through their Outreach Program. The evening will consist of cocktails, gondola rides in scenic Central Park and entertainment.  This year, Christies Auction House will provide an auctioneer for Urban Stages’ exclusive live-auction. Tickets are available at UrbanStages.org. Press contact: Joe Trentacosta/JT PR (646/481-6583)...
