TDF’s Broadway Breakfast, the organization's fall fundraiser, is held October 23 at 8 AM at City Winery New York City in Chelsea.

Frank DiLella and Tony honoree Irene Gandy host the morning event, which features performances from stage and screen star Ana Gasteyer (Once Upon a Mattress, Wicked), Tony winner Laura Benanti (Gypsy, My Fair Lady), and Tony nominee Norm Lewis (The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess, Once on This Island).

Broadway Breakfast also celebrates Seth Rudetsky and James Wesley Jackson, Union Settlement, and Sony Corporation of America.

Rudetsky and Wesley Jackson will receive the TDF Founders Award for their philanthropic efforts championing Broadway and nonprofit theatre organizations and their dedication to raising awareness for marginalized communities and advancing civil rights.

The Victoria Bailey Impact Award, named for TDF’s former executive director, will be given to the nonprofit Union Settlement, which creates opportunity in East Harlem by offering programs that help underserved residents improve their skills and build better lives.

TDF will also celebrate 30 years of partnership with Sony Corporation of America, which supports its education programs, including Introduction to Theatre and Dance, the Wendy Wasserstein Project, TDF Accessibility Program for Students, and TDF’s Graduation Gift.

TDF, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to sharing the power of the performing arts with everyone, was founded in 1968 and is currently led by Board Chair Gwen Marcus and Executive Director Deeksha Gaur. Proceeds from the upcoming event will support TDF's wide range of Accessibility, Education, and Public Engagement programs.
