The Roundtable invites you to join us for a special fundraiser to support equitable access to arts education for all NYC students. Attendees will enjoy a pre-show reception with drinks and small bites followed by a performance of Samm-Art Williams’ Tony Award®-nominated play HOME courtesy of Roundabout Theatre Company.
All proceeds will go to the Roundtable’s general operating budget — helping us serve more than 4,000 arts educators annually via our advocacy work, professional development, resource development, and other year-round programs.

About the Show – HOME
In the Tony Award®-nominated play The New York Times calls “an uplifting folk ballad about the pure in heart,” Cephus Miles has the whole world in his callused hands—until his sweetheart Pattie Mae goes off to college and marries another man. Originally staged by the Negro Ensemble Company in 1979, and featured in the first year of Roundabout’s Refocus Project, Samm-Art Williams’ Home is a muscular and melodic coming-of-age story that gives voice to the unbreakable spirit of all Americans who have been searching for a place to belong. Kenny Leon (A Soldier’s Play) directs.
