The Drama League’s Mission Remains Undeterred, Uplifting Broadway’s Artists, Directors & Producers

As the Broadway community is at the center of a divided nation - federal funds being eliminated and cut in many cases and costs rising each year to produce first rate productions - the Drama League made it quite clear at its annual benefit gala in the theater district the message to the aspiring next generation of stage performers is to work hard, stay focused and stay on the path to follow your dreams - as the theater needs you now more than ever.  The benefit presented a spirit of uplifting and amplifying the New York theater community - Broadway stars, alumni artists, directors and producers all gathering together.

NYC VIBE caught up with the talented and motivated theatrical producer Lia Vollack who was being honored by her peers on this night.

Diane von Furstenberg Host s Private Screening of Oscar®-Qualifying Documentary Darkness To Light 

Global fashion icon and philanthropist Diane von Furstenberg has just endorsed the Oscar®-qualifying short documentary Darkness to Light: When Technology Heals Generations when she hosted an intimate private screening and discussion in New York in celebration of visionary filmmaker and technologist Victoria Bousis and Executive Producer Elodie Yung.

The film details Bousis’s journey to Cambodia earlier this year, marking the 50th anniversary of the Cambodian genocide. Through the power of virtual reality, Bousis uses immersive storytelling to educate young Cambodians about their country’s history -  and to explore how technology can bridge generations of trauma and healing that catalyzed global policy change to reunify families.

Ragtime is back on Broadway—a towering musical event that makes the story of America feel both intimate and epic. 

Set in the vibrant, turbulent dawn of the 20th century, this rich tapestry weaves together fictional narratives with the essential currents of history, blurring the line between personal struggle and national identity.

In the bustling melting pot of New York, a Black pianist, a Jewish immigrant, and a wealthy white mother find their lives dramatically intertwined. Their fictional struggles explode against a backdrop of real history, where they cross paths with icons like Harry Houdini, Emma Goldman, Booker T. Washington, and Henry Ford.

This landmark production is based on E. L. Doctorow’s 1975 novel, featuring the four-time Tony Award-winning playwright, the late Terrence McNally and a truly brilliant, soaring score by Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens.

NYC Vibe’s Mike Leventhal caught up with Tony-nominated director Lear deBessonet, who spoke of a special, personal mission driving this high energy and emotional production.

On opening night, the cast concurred: the script’s message is more vital now than ever. It is a profound responsibility to carry forward a story that ultimately leaves the audience with one powerful, resonant word: HOPE.
