American Theatre Wing. This organization was established in 1939 at the behest of Rachel
Crothers and other theatrical women, many of whom had been active in the earlier
Stage Women's War Relief. Shortly thereafter it established the
Stage Door Canteen, which entertained servicemen during World War II. After the war it organized important seminars on all aspects of the theatre, enlisting the best talents to lead the seminars. It has also made numerous scholarship grants. In 1974 it sponsored the First American Congress of Theatre (FACT). Playgoers know it best for its Antoinette Perry (
Tony) Awards, named for a former director.
