He also gave back and did so much for The Broadway League, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, The Actors Fund, and more,

TONY HONORS FOR EXCELLENCE IN THE THEATER – Joseph Blakely Forbes for painting so many sets for Broadway's greatest shows for the past 40 years.

In addition, the charecters in the story are able to find harmony even amidst discord, and those harmonies are powerful and haunting,

SPECIAL TONY AWARD – The late Marin Mazzie for not only her beautiful, haunting, and breathtaking talent but her advocacy and leadership within the theatre community as a brave and dedicated voice for women?s health issues and organizations.
