NEW YORK – Rosie O’Donnell is getting a Tony Award.<\/p>\n

The award’s administration committee said Tuesday that the former talk-show host will receive the 2014 Isabelle Stevenson Award, an honorary prize given to members of the theatre community for their philanthropic efforts.<\/p>\n

The committee cites O’Donnell’s commitment to arts education for New York City’s public school children. In 2003, the Emmy Award-winning O’Donnell launched a non-profit arts education organization now known as Rosie’s Theater Kids, which provides training in dance, music and drama for students attending public school in New York City.<\/p>\n

O’Donnell has hosted the Tony Awards three times. Her theatre credits include performing in “Grease,” ”Seussical” and ”Fiddler on the Roof” as well as producing the musical ”Taboo.”<\/p>\n

The Tony Awards are June 8.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
