Orfeh Hosts 2013 COLUMN Awards in Dallas - Winners Announced!

Monday night Tony Award nominee, Broadway sensation Orfeh served as Co-host and performed at the 14th Annual COLUMN Awards Gala. She co-hosted the glittery event with Executive Director/Producer/Founder John Garcia.

THE COLUMN AWARDS honors excellence in theater within the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.

THE COLUMN AWARDS is very honored to also serve as a major fundraiser for BROADWAY CARES/EQUITY FIGHTS AIDS. They have been doing this since their inception. They are the only awards organization that serves as a major fundraiser for BC/EFA in the United States.

Besides awarding the local DFW talent, THE COLUMN AWARDS presented a special award to Actor's Equity for celebrating 100 years of existence.

This year's theme was LA CAGE AUX COLUMN, an homage to Jerry Herman's Tony Award winning musical LA CAGE AUX FOLLES. This explains why Orfeh is pictured here with Garcia as "Zaza".

Tony Award nominee Orfeh brought the house down with her soaring performance of "Fame".
