INTERACT’S KAKI MARSHALL ARTS & COMMUNITY AWARD

Since 1999, InterAct has presented the Kaki Marshall Arts & Community Award to individuals who have made a significant contribution to the Philadelphia region through their activism in the arts community.

This year InterAct is pleased to honor two individuals who symbolize the powerful connections between the labor movement and the arts community. Terry Graboyes is the president of Graboyes Commercial Window Company, a longtime arts supporter and advocate, and a leading union-recognized contractor here in Philadelphia. Tom McCarthy is one of Philadelphia’s busiest and most respected actors, an active member of Actors’ Equity Association, American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, and longtime local head of the Screen Actors Guild.
