Broadway will pay tribute to actress Natasha Richardson, who passed away on Wednesday after a tragic skiing accident.

On March 19 at 8 p.m., the theater marquees will be dimmed for one minute in remembrance of Richardson and her work on Broadway, Playbill reports.

"The Broadway community is shocked and deeply saddened by the tragic loss of one of our finest young actresses, Natasha Richardson. Her theatrical lineage is legendary, but her own singular talent shined memorably on any stage she appeared," Charlotte St. Martin, executive director of The Broadway League, said in a statement.

Richardson made her Broadway debut alongside her future husband Liam Neeson in 1993 when she worked on Anna Christie -- a play that earned her a Tony Award nomination. She later won a Tony award in 1998 for her performance in Cabaret and in 2005 performed on Broadway in the play Streetcar Named Desire.
