Broadway is dimming its lights for some of its finest. Mary Beth Hurt, Sondra Lee, and Jennifer Harmon are among the late members of the Broadway community being honored with a group marquee dimming next week, according to Deadline.
The ceremony is set for Tuesday, June 9, at 6:45 p.m. ET, with all 41 Broadway theaters going dark in tribute. The marquee dimming is one of Broadway's traditions, held quarterly to remember performers who shaped the Great White Way.
Mary Beth Hurt was an acclaimed performer in Broadway productions and had a long career in television and film. Sondra Lee brought tap-dancing to the stage, while Jennifer Harmon was a respected presence in the theater community.
The marquee dimming is a reminder of Broadway's close-knit community. When those lights go out across Times Square, it signals that these artists mattered and their contributions to the stage remain significant.
Broadway fans and theater professionals take these tributes seriously. The tradition reflects respect and remembrance, a moment when the entire theater world pauses to honor those who have left a mark on the stage.
For those who loved theater, June 9 marks a night to remember these performers and the legacies they left behind.
