Playwrights Horizons has announced that Tony nominee Brandon Victor Dixon will perform alongside Christine Ebersole, Patti LuPone, and Kelli O’Hara at its upcoming spring gala. The evening will honor the Grey Gardens and War Paint writing team of Scott Frankel, Michael Korie, and Doug Wright.

The gala will be held May 8 at the event space 583 Park Avenue, and will also feature special appearances by The Debate Society and The Wolves playwright Sarah DeLappe.

A Celebration of Song will feature selections from Grey Gardens, which had its world premiere at Playwrights Horizons before transferring to Broadway; War Paint; and Far From Heaven, Frankel and Korie’s musical collaboration with Richard Greenberg, and starring O'Hara.
