Events & Fundraisers

 

Dear friends of the Fund,

We hope you've limbered up and have your dancing shoes on, because we are grooving this week. We're thrilled to offer tickets to Bob Fosse's Dancin', with all proceeds going to programs that help dancers at all points in their career. If that's not your speed, we also have Broadway legend Chita Rivera sharing stories from her life in the arts.

Plus, Sean Hayes returns to Broadway in a new play based on a true story of an unforgettable night of television.

Thank you for continuing to support a life in the arts, and we look forward to seeing you soon.

Good Night, Oscar Producer's Picks
Monday, April 17, 8 pm ET

Belasco Theatre
111 West 44th Street
New York, NY

See top-notch theater and feel good about helping others! Producer’s Picks tickets are donated by the producers so your entire ticket purchase goes to support the Entertainment Community Fund’s programs and services.

Sean Hayes returns to Broadway this spring starring in Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Doug Wright’s new play, Good Night, Oscar, directed by Lisa Peterson, at the Belasco Theatre. Hayes plays Oscar Levant: Hollywood actor, concert pianist and the most subversive wit ever to appear on television during its Golden Age.

It’s 1958, and Jack Paar hosts the hottest late-night talk-show on television. His favorite guest? Character actor, pianist and wild card Oscar Levant. Famous for his witty one-liners, Oscar has a favorite: “There’s a fine line between genius and insanity; I have erased this line.” Tonight, Oscar will prove just that when he appears live on national TV in an episode that Paar’s audience—and the rest of America—won’t soon forget. Good Night, Oscar explores the nexus of humor and heartbreak, the ever-dwindling distinction between exploitation and entertainment, and the high cost of baring one’s soul for public consumption.

Bob Fosse's Dancin' Producer's Picks
Wednesday, May 10, 8 pm ET

Music Box Theatre
239 West 45th Street
New York, NY

Bob Fosse’s Dancin’ celebrates Fosse’s influential style, and features some of his most inventive and seldom performed choreography. The show has been reimagined for the 21st century by Tony Award winner Wayne Cilento, one of the stars of the original Broadway production, and produced in cooperation with Bob's daughter Nicole Fosse. You think you’ve seen dancing, but you’ve never seen Dancin’ like this!

All proceeds from our ticket sales will benefit Career Transition For Dancers and its companion program, The Dancers' Resource, two important Entertainment Community Fund programs providing support to dancers in all stages of their careers.
