On Monday, Feb. 12, Waterwell, the theater company founded by Arian Moayed and Tom Ridgely celebrated its 20th Anniversary with a party at Greenpoint Loft featuring cocktails, dinner, a silent and live auction, and performances by past Waterwell artists as well as current students and alums of the Waterwell Drama Program.

The Artists as Citizen Award was given to co-founder Tom Ridgely and to Lincoln Center's Shanta Thake for their work in creating work that is both civic-minded and brings people together.
