Blake Lively: BAM Theater Gala

Blake Lively and actor Peter Sarsgaard pose together at the 2011 BAM Theater Gala at the Brooklyn Academy of Music on Thursday (March 10) in New York City.

The 23-year-old actress (in a Burberry coat) was at the gala celebrating Geoffrey Rush in The Diary of a Madman. The evening began with The Russian Banquet Dinner onstage of the historic BAM Howard Gilman Opera House followed by a performance of Gogol’s darkly comic Madman in the Harvey Theater.

Hugh Jackman, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Claire Danes, and Isbella Rossellini were also in attendance.
