Donna Lynne Champlin Performs at Princess Grace Awards

In 1992, Donna Lynne Champlin (Sweeney Todd) was awarded a Princess Grace Award, a theater scholarship to Carnegie Mellon University, given to emerging artists to pursue their studies. 

Now, an accomplished, recent Village Voice Obie award winning actress ("Finishing The Hat") and singer, she'll open the program at the 25th Anniversary Princess Grace Awards at Sotheby's on October 25, performing for honoree George Lucas, presenters Roger Moore, James Earl Jones, Susan Stroman and the children of Princess Grace HSH Prince Albert of Monaco and Caroline, Princess of Hanover.

The public charity has awarded over $5 million to continue the work Princess Grace did during Her Lifetime – identifying and funding emerging talent in theater, dance and film. Other Princess Grace Awards winners include Tony Kushner, Eric Simonson, Kate Robin, Oscar Isaac and Nilaja Sun.
