The entertaining evening honored Tony Award-winning costume designer Jane Greenwood, who designed Abingdon’s acclaimed production of Hellman v. McCarthy; Abingdon Theatre Company’s Vice Chair and former Managing Director, Heather Henderson; and one of New York’s most prominent lawyers in entertainment, Mark D. Sendroff.
