Although it’s the first time our awards have taken place at The Edison Ballroom, the venue has a long and colorful history. For much of the Edison’s life, it’s been a music club, first in the 1930s, featuring Swing Era bands, and then in the 1990s as The Supper Club, an elegant venue featuring everyone from Bob Dylan to Tony Bennett. In the interim, it became the Edison Theatre, where it was home to many Broadway shows, including the infamous “Oh! Calcutta!” While I hope that the talent at tonight’s show will remain more clothed than the “Oh! Calcutta!” cast did, throughout my six years on the Awards Committee, the one thing I’ve learned is that during the WGAE Awards, you never know what’s going to happen… I’m thrilled that you’re here to celebrate some of the best work that our members have produced in the past year. But don’t let this be your only way of engaging with the Writers Guild. I encourage you to become involved with the WGAE’s committees and caucuses as well as its career training sessions, activities and organizing campaigns. Plus, if you’re in need of a quiet place to work, members can even come to the office and use the writing room. My heartfelt thanks go out to the show’s wonderful host Colin Quinn, Executive Producer John Marshall, to all of the impressive presenters and nominees, the rest of our writing team, the incredibly dedicated Awards Committee, the tireless WGAE staff, our volunteers, my fellow Council members, my very patient husband Chris and everyone else involved in making tonight’s show possible. Enjoy the food, drink up and have a great time!
