The acclaimed DON'T QUIT YOUR NIGHT JOB will make its return at the Julia Miles Theatre on November 19th. Announced guest stars will include Kate Baldwin, Montego Glover, John Ellison Conlee, Richard Kind and Mitch Jarvis. The event will begin at 11:30pm.

DON'T QUIT YOUR NIGHT JOB is where Broadway and improv meet... and make out. Filtered through the unique humor of its creators, DON'T QUIT is a late night happening of improv, music, sketches and offbeat performances you won't see anywhere else.

The critically acclaimed comedy variety show was created by industry mainstays Steve Rosen, David Rossmer, Sarah Saltzberg and music director Dan Lipton. It plays once a month at Julia Miles Theater in New York City (424 W 55th St and 9th Ave) with a revolving cast of guests from Broadway and beyond. Tickets are $20 and proceeds go to benefit the TDF/Open Doors program.

An astounding array of entertainers has let its hair down at DON'T QUIT: Huey Lewis, Hank Azaria, Julianna Margulies, Michael McKean, Marc Shaiman, Alicia Witt, Anthony Rapp, Sara Ramirez, George Wendt, Bebe Neuwirth, David Hyde Pierce, Martha Plimpton, Patrick Wilson, AndRea Martin, Marc Summers, Kelli O'Hara and Mo Rocca are just a few of the many guests who have appeared on the show.

Open Doors is the Theatre Development Fund's arts mentoring program for high school students. Started by playwright Wendy Wasserstein, its goal is to explore the relevance of theatre in the lives of today's youth. DON'T QUIT is proud to have raised over $30,000 for Open Doors since 2006.
