The playwright Terrence McNally, the actress Rosemary Harris and the musician Harold Wheeler will be honored for their lifetime achievements at this year’s Tony Awards.

The awards administrators named the honorees on Thursday, as this year’s theater season draws to a close with the opening of the final Tony-eligible show. Nominees for competitive awards will be announced on Tuesday, and the awards ceremony will be broadcast on CBS on June 9.
