CONGRATULATIONS TO GEFFEN PLAYHOUSE’S BACKSTAGE 2020 HONOREES! We feel privileged to be a part of a group honoring Diane Keaton, an actress who continues to be at the top of her game, bringing quality entertainment, both dramatic and comedic, to millions of fans—including us! We congratulate Gloria Calderón Kellett on being honored by the Geffen Playhouse for her diverse, successful career. We are certain that many more honors are in her future! Frank Mancuso is our link with the Geffen’s Founder, and without Mr. Mancuso’s generosity of time, intellect, resources, and his vision, the Geffen Playhouse would not be the theatrical and philanthropic success that it is today. Thank you!

Congratulations to Frank Mancuso, Diane Keaton, and Gloria Calderón Kellett. At the Geffen, you honor us. And we honor you. Madeline & Bruce Ramer
Frank, my journey with being on the Geffen Board began over 10 years ago at a lunch meeting with you and Gil at the Bel Air Hotel, which I remember vividly. Your elegance, warmth, and generosity from that day forward showed me how you make anything and everything a celebration! Your dedication to the Geffen Playhouse is unparalleled. You are an inspiration to all who know you. Thank you for including Tony and I in this special group!
CONGRATULATIONS ON THIS MOST WELL DESERVED HONOR! LOVE, TONY RUBIN & LINDA BERNSTEIN RUBIN
