BC/EFA Ebay Auction Offers Opening Night Tix/Party Passes For ACCENT ON YOUTH

In-keeping with their series of "Extraordinary EBay" packages, Broadway Cares / Equity Fights AIDS (BC/EFA) is proud to announce an opening night online auction item perfect for the end of this year's Broadway season.

After an almost one year absence from the Great White Way, Tony and Emmy Award winning actor David Hyde Pierce returns to Broadway in a revival of Samson Raphaelson's 1935 comedy ACCENT ON YOUTH. The producers of this comic gem have generously donated a pair of prime seats along with two passes to the star studded opening night party with the proceeds to benefit Broadway Cares / Equity Fights AIDS.

David Hyde Pierce heads the cast in this rollicking salute to love's possibilities, both on stage and off. Successful playwright Steven Gaye (Pierce) is about to abandon his latest script, when his young secretary offers him new inspiration. With her as his muse, he stages the show on Broadway, only to learn, to his dismay, that the show's young leading man is being inspired by her too. In this fresh look at Samson Raphaelson's brilliantly clever comedy, the Tony Award-winning from CURTAINS and SPAMALOT returns to Broadway under the direction of Tony Award winner Daniel Sullivan (PROOF and RABBIT HOLE).

The winning bidder and a guest will receive the following:

¨ A pair of VIP tickets to the opening night of ACCENT ON YOUTH on Wednesday April 29th, 6:45PM at the Samuel J Friedman Theater.
¨ Two passes to the opening night party immediately following the performance.
