Broadway Community Supports Actors Temple, 11/21

The Best of Broadway & Cabaret will come out to support the Actors Temple (est. 1923) on Sunday, November 21, 2010.  Located at 339 West 47th Street, this theater district landmark has fallen on hard times in recent years & so member, producer Randie Levine-Miller spoke to Rabbi Jill Hausman and said, "Let's put on a musical -- benefit!"

The concert will take place at the temple at 7:30 PM with 18 extraordinary (many award winning ) performers: (in alphabetical order)  Raissa Katona Bennett, Christina Bianco, Len Cariou, Douglas J. Cohen, Eric Comstock, Jamie deRoy, Barbara Fasano, Beth Fowler, Anita Gillette, Jackie Hoffman, George S. Irving, Alice Levine, Kurt Peterson, Wade Preston, Steve Ross, Cheryl Stern, Sal Viviano, Martin Vidnovic. Dennis Buck is musical director. Producer Levine-Miller will also host the event.
Legendary members of the congregation included: Joey Adams, Jack Benny, Milton Berle, Red Buttons, Eddie Cantor, George Jessel, Al Jolson, Sandy Koufax, Jack E. Leonard, Danny Lewis (Jerry's father), Joe E. Lewis, Tony Martin, Ritz Brothers, Edward G. Robinson, Sophie Tucker,William B. Williams, Shelly Winters, Henny Youngman.
