2 In 1947 The Wing founded The Antoinette Perry Award for Excellence in Theatre (more commonly known as the Tony Award), named in honor of The Wing's co-founder just after her death in 1946.

1 The organization was founded as The Stage Women's War Relief during World War I by a group of actors and theatre patrons. A precursor to the USO, The Stage Women's War Relief raised nearly $7 million for the war effort, donating food and clothing and providing entertainment to the armed forces. During World War II, under the leadership of Antoinette Perry, the organization was reestablished and renamed The American Theatre Wing. The Wing created the Stage Door Canteen, on West 44th Street in Manhattan, as a place where visiting servicemen could visit for entertainment by some of the leading stage talent of the day. (A West Coast counterpart, called the Hollywood Canteen, was also established.)
