Elizabeth Stanley to Perform at A.R.T. Gala in June

Elizabeth Stanley (Jagged Little Pill) will perform at American Repertory Theater (A.R.T.)'s 2024 Gala. Held this year on Monday, June 10, at the Bright-Landry Hockey Center on N. Harvard Street in Allston, the event will honor David E. and Stacey L. Goel.

Elizabeth Stanley is an award-winning actor, singer, and musician, best known for her work on Broadway, recently starring in the A.R.T.-originated Alanis Morissette musical Jagged Little Pill, earning nominations for the Tony Award, Drama Desk, and Outer Critics Circle, as well as a Grammy Award for the original cast recording. She captivated audiences in the Broadway productions of Company directed by John Doyle, On the Town (Drama Desk nomination), Million Dollar Quartet, and Cry-Baby, as well as Merrily We Roll Along (Encores) and Pal Joey (City Center gala production). She recently performed as “Mother” in The Boston Pops concert production of Ragtime. A full bio is below.

A.R.T.’s annual Gala supports the theater’s groundbreaking programming that expands the boundaries of theater, engaging hearts, minds, and bodies to imagine collective pathways forward.

The 2024 Gala will celebrate the Goels, whose transformative gift catalyzed the process to reimagine Harvard’s arts campus and new home for the A.R.T. that would enhance Harvard’s and Greater Boston’s arts communities. The David E. and Stacey L. Goel Center for Creativity & Performance will include two flexible performance venues, rehearsal studios, teaching spaces, a spacious public lobby, and an outdoor performance yard designed to host ticketed and free programming. The facility is designed by Haworth Tompkins with consultancy from Charcoalblue and ARC/Architectural Resources Cambridge.

The June 10 Gala will begin with a cocktail hour at 6PM, followed by dinner, a live auction, and an artistic program. For additional information, visit AmericanRepertoryTheater.org/Gala or contact A.R.T.’s Development team at ART_Events@harvard.edu.
