Get to Know the Robe Recipients July 2016

“The Gypsy Robe ceremony always makes me think of how strong and connected our community is. Past honorees come to welcome new shows to Broadway, and I really feel our unity. And, I always shed a tear when the people making their Broadway debuts stand in a group to be celebrated. I remember how emotional it was for me the day I made mine.”

“The Gypsy Robe tradition symbolizes a great wealth of theatre history and rite of passage. It reminds me of the many people who have come before me and what they did to further our community; it’s a wonderful honor to have. During the ceremony I was excited and proud, and what I remember most are the happy faces of all of our Broadway newbies making their debuts.”
