The annual New Dramatists luncheons have a reputation for being notably star-studded, and this year was no exception. Held on Tuesday afternoon in the Broadway Ballroom of the Marriott Marquis hotel, the event's main honoree was one of the most beloved people in show business, the great theatre and film composer/lyricist Stephen Schwartz. Here are my photos from this exciting afternoon:
