Houston Arts Alliance hosts "An Intimate Evening with Rita Moreno." HAA's inaugural dinner fundraiser will feature Broadway, film and television icon Rita Moreno telling her story in words and song. Moreno, who received the Screen Actors Guild Lifetime Achievement Award in January, belongs to an elite group of eight living performers who have won entertainment's grand slam of the industry's most prestigious awards: The Oscar (West Side Story), The Emmy (The Muppet Show and The Rockford Files), The Tony (The Ritz) and The Grammy (The Electric Company Album).

Moreno has served on the National Endowment for the Arts and as a commissioner for The President's White House Fellowships. She has also served as a member of The President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities. Moreno has been awarded both The Presidential Medal of Freedom (the highest honor bestowed upon a civilian) and The National Medal of Arts.

Proceeds from the event will support the programs and services that HAA provides the Houston region.
