Each year, Gingold Theatrical Group celebrates Shaw’s humanist ideals with our Golden Shamrock Gala. In honor of George Bernard Shaw’s Irish roots, the Golden Shamrock Gala is presented in recognition of artistic or cultural contributions to society.

Featuring a sparkling cocktail hour and delectable meal, a silent auction with offerings that have included rare collectibles, Broadway tickets, spa vouchers, fine wines and more, the Golden Shamrock Gala is an event not to be missed!

This year we have two wonderfully compelling honorees.
