On Monday, November 17th at 7:00 PM, the American Theater Hall of Fame will induct eight new members. They are Tom Viola, Kenny Leon, Rocco Landesman, Anne Bogart, Paul Tazewell, Kathleen Marshall, Richard Thomas, and posthumously, Rebecca Luker.

The Theater Hall of Fame, on Broadway at the Gershwin Theatre, was founded in 1970 by Earl Blackwell, James M. Nederlander, Gerard Oestreicher, and L. Arnold Weissberger to honor Lifetime Achievement in the American Theater. The mission is to preserve past theater history, honor the present theater professionals, and encourage emerging artists of the American Theater.
