Events & Fundraisers

 

Dear friends of the Fund,

We're less than two weeks away from our annual gala, where we'll be celebrating the tireless efforts of some of our community's staunchest supporters. We hope you'll join us!

Plus, you have a chance to take in the work of not one, but two Broadway legends, in the form of some iconic choreography or a living legend telling her stories of a life in the arts.

Thank you for your continued support, and we hope to see you soon.

Dancin'

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

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

Join us for Bob Fosse’s Dancin’, which 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.

 

Chita

Chita Rivera in Conversation with Nathan Lane
Monday, April 24, 7 pm ET

The Temple Emanu-El Streicker Center
10 East 66th Street

The legendary Chita Rivera, who has dazzled us since her Broadway debut in 1953, now reveals her irreverent self in her new book Chita: A Memoir and opens up about spending decades in the company of Jerome Robbins, Hal Prince, Bob Fosse, Leonard Bernstein and more.

Join Nathan Lane as he discusses with Chita her rise as a non-white leading lady and how, at the age of 90, she continues to dwell in a place of continual motion and joy.

For your convenience, you have the option to attend this event either in person or virtually, plus you get a copy of Chita’s new book! Please select one of the two Entertainment Community Fund titled ticket options when making your reservation, and $5 from your purchase will be donated to the Fund.
