Halston and Busch Host Love n' Courage Benefit, Feb. 13
By: BWW News Desk Jan. 17, 2006
The evening will benefit Theater for the New City's Emerging Playwrights Program with a portion of the tickets benefiting Southern Rep, the regional theater of New Orleans damaged by fire resulting from Hurricane Katrina.
The evening has a dual focus: presenting the songs of Broadway's socially-conscious lyricist Yip Harburg (The Wizard of Oz, Finian's Rainbow) and honoring the spirit of New Orleans with a special appearance by cabaret star Mary Cleere Haran and the music of Troi Bechet and her band. After the performance, audiences can dance to Trio and her Quartet; the singer is flying in her native New Orleans for the event.
The legendary Kitty Carlisle Hart, who was born in New Orleans, will make a very special appearance, while the benefit commitee includes Elaine Stritch, Tim Robbins and Edward Albee.
Tickets are $150 including champagne supper, performance and dancing. Theater for a New City is located at 155 First Avenue (between 9th and 10th). Call (212) 254 - 1109
