Events & Fundraisers

 

Dear friends of the Fund,

Every week in September, you'll have the opportunity to see some incredible live theater where your ticket purchase will go towards supporting a life in the arts for the people onstage, behind the scenes and throughout our community.

You can also celebrate Labor Day with a four-hour Stars In The House extravaganza, co-hosted by our Board Chair Annette Bening!

Plus, there's still time left to bid on some exciting chances to share a meal or conversation with stars of stage and screen!

Thanks for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you soon.

Kimberly Akimbo

Kimberly Akimbo Producer's Picks
Wednesday, September 6, 7 pm ET

Booth Theatre
222 West 45th 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.

Kimberly Akimbo is based on the play of the same name and the winner of 5 Tony Awards including Best Musical! The show features a book and lyrics by Pulitzer Prize winner David Lindsay-Abaire (Rabbit Hole), music by Tony Award winner Jeanine Tesori (Fun Home), choreography by Danny Mefford (Dear Evan Hansen) and direction by award-winning director Jessica Stone.

Kim, played by Tony Award winner Victoria Clark, is a bright and funny New Jersey teen, who happens to look like a 72-year-old lady. And yet her aging condition may be the least of her problems. Forced to maneuver family secrets, borderline personalities and possible felony charges (thanks to her Aunt Debra, played by Tony Award winner Bonnie Milligan), Kim is determined to find happiness in a world where not even time is on her side.
