Tony Award winner Laura Benanti is set to host Theatre Development Fund (TDF)’s 2026 Broadway Breakfast for another year. As previously announced, this year’s edition of the annual fall fundraiser will take place at Rockefeller Center’s Rainbow Room at 8 a.m. on Oct. 28.
Also newly announced, New York City Council Speaker Julie Menin will accept the Victoria Bailey Impact Award on behalf of the City Council during the event. The award is named for Bailey, a former TDF executive director, and is presented annually to an individual or organization that furthers TDF’s mission of helping the performing arts reach a broad, diverse audience. The City Council’s Autism Initiative has helped fund TDF’s Autism Friendly Performances program since 2016.
