Hundreds Gather to Remember Arthur Gelb at Eugene O’Neill Theater

On Tuesday, nearly 600 people gathered for a reunion of sorts inside the Eugene O’Neill Theater. The room was full of chatter and laughter as those present shared a hug, a laugh, or more importantly, a memory of their time spent with legendary journalist, Arthur Gelb.
