Monday, October 14, 11 am
A Celebration of Life, Music Box Theatre
Sono Osato was a groundbreaking Japanese-American dancer who toured the world with the Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo, performed with the Ballet Theater (now American Ballet Theater) in New York and gained acclaim on Broadway in the World War II-era musicals One Touch of Venus and On the Town. Ms. Osato was a major benefactor of Career Transition For Dancers, a program of The Actors Fund, and a beloved advocate of supportive services for the entire dance community.

The Play That Goes Wrong

Producer’s Picks, New World Stages
Halloween Goes Wrong: dress up (or not) and celebrate with us on the scariest day of the year: October 23!
The time is right to see The Play That Goes Wrong, Broadway’s funniest smash hit! This Olivier Award-winning comedy is a hilarious hybrid of Monty Python and Sherlock Holmes.
Welcome to opening night of The Murder at Haversham Manor where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. With an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines), it’s “a riotous explosion of comedy!” (The Daily Beast) and “tons of fun for all ages!” (HuffPost). Ben Brantley of The New York Times calls it “a gut-busting hit,” and Cindy Adams of the New York Post has just one word for you: “Go!"
