Directed by BJ Robinson, assistant directed by Carlyn Thometz, music directed by Sarah LeClair. Visit: https://newvillagearts.org/event/gretel/2025-07-20/

This exciting initiative will honor individuals across 18 categories in both visual, culinary and performing arts, culminating in a formal black-tie awards dinner on June 28, 2025, at the CCAE Conference Center.
