George Cheeks was one of the honorees at Rosie's Theater Kids"Passing It On" gala at Hunter College.
Cheeks is described as a lifelong fan and friend of live theater. He has spoken with young people involved with Rosie's Theater Kids about leadership. "As he stands in a position of power, he is actively making a positive change in the world. He is working hard in the entertainment industry to make it more equitable," one of Rosie' Theater Kids said in introducing Cheeks."Look, it's such an exciting night. I'm humbled to be here. I'm just so excited to watch these kids perform. I actually watched them perform, rehearse about a month ago and I was sort of blown away by their talent.
