Tony winner Phylicia Rashad hosted the 36th annual Theater Hall of Fame Ceremony on January 29 at the Gershwin Theater in New York City. Honored for their lifelong contributions to the stage were actors Patti LuPone, George Hearn, and Elizabeth Wilson; playwrights Brian Friel, Wendy Wasserstein, and August Wilson; and designers Willa Kim and Eugena Lee. Inductees are chosen by the American Theater Critics Association and members of the Theater Hall of Fame and must have a minimum of five major credits and 25 years in the Broadway theater (sorry, Barbra). Among the bold-faced names feting the honorees were Marian Seldes and Angela Lansbury, stars of the upcoming Terrence McNally play "Deuce."
