During the annual fundraising gala, the theatre honored Tony Award-winning playwright and screenwriter John Logan with the Monte Cristo Award, given each year to a theatre artist whose work has had an extraordinary impact on American theatre.

“John Logan represents the finest in American storytelling. As a playwright and screenwriter, John creates singular and transformative stories that touch our common humanity. It is a particular delight to honor one of our artists this year, and one who has such broad impact on American culture,” said O’Neill Executive Director Preston Whiteway in a statement.
