Get to Know the Robe Recipients

“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.”

“When I heard my name I almost fainted – not really, but my heart did skip a beat. Seeing this tradition being passed down for the past six years, and to now be a part of it is an awesome feeling. I remember seeing all of my colleagues smiling and screaming as I ran around the circle; it was like I was crowned the prom king!”
