Gingold Theatrical Group celebrated their GOLDEN SHAMROCK GALA on Sunday, March 17 (St. Patrick's Day) at The Players Club (16 Gramercy), honoring the prodigious talents of actress/director Judith Ivey and everyone's favorite television host, TCM's Robert Osborne; and, of course, George Bernard Shaw. Check out photos from the festivities below!
There was Shaw, festive Irish Music, and a down-home traditional Irish/American dinner: corned-beef & cabbage, lamb stew, vegetarian shepherd's pie, puddings and sweeties. and plenty of wines, stout and ale, The event also included stars, festive Irish musicians, shamrocks, raffles and auctions, and more, offering a glorious evening for all.
Gingold Theatrical Group's goal is to carve a permanent niche for the work of George Bernard Shaw within the social and cultural life of New York; bringing his canon and precepts to larger audiences while encouraging individuals to breathe these humanist ideals into their contributions for the future. Their PROJECT SHAW reading series, now in its seventh year, is the first group ever to present all of Shaw's 65 plays.
The funds raised for this gala will be put toward financing GTG's next co-production. This year, they will be partnering with a renowned Off-Broadway company on a production of Shaw's sparkling comedy You Never Can Tell to open their season in the autumn. Details will be forthcoming. GTG's last co-production (with The Irish Repertory Theatre) was the wildly popular sold-out production of Shaw's epic Man and Superman. This production will be the centerpiece of GTG's second annuAl Shaw New York festival, including symposiums, concerts and new play readings.
