Paul Sills to be Inducted into The Theater Hall of Fame

Paul Sills used to often quote Thoreau: “Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes…”

However, we’re happy to announce that this Monday he will be inducted into The Theater Hall of Fame, which honors lifetime achievement in the American theater.

“The Theater Hall of Fame, which will hold its annual ceremony on Monday honoring lifetime achievement in American theater, has announced its new inductees. They are the actors Tyne Daly and Ben Vereen; the directors Daniel Sullivan and, posthumously, Paul Sills; the costumer designer Ann Roth; and the producers George C. White, Elliot Martin and Woodie King Jr.

Estelle Parsons will be the host, and the presenters will include Meryl Streep, Liza Minnelli, Jane Alexander, Brian Dennehy and Phylicia Rashad. The Broadway event will take place at the Gershwin Theater, where the plaques with the names of each year’s honorees are hung.”
