Hoffman Hosts 4th Broadway Purim 3/17 with Burnham, Tartaglia, Saltzberg

The National Entertainment Fund for the Cultural Arts (NEFCA) and event Co-Chairs Michael Steinhardt and Lynn Schusterman proudly present the 4th Annual Broadway Purim Shpiel at the Hudson Theatre on Monday, March 17 at 7PM.

Jackie Hoffman of Xanadu will host the event, with performances from stars Richard Kind ("Spin City"), Skylar Astin (Spring Awakening), John Tartaglia (Avenue Q), Kenita Miller (Xanadu), Iris Bahr (Dai), Heather Spore (Wicked), Annie Golden (Xanadu), David Burnham (Wicked) and from "Don't Quit Your Night Job," Sarah Saltzberg, David Rossmer, Steve Rosen and Dan Lipton.

For one night only, these Broadway stars join together for the Broadway Purim Shpiel, a hilarious retelling of the Purim story.  All proceeds from the NEFCA event will benefit Taglit-Birthright Israel, an organization dedicated to sending young Jews from across the world to Israel. Full details about the event can be found at www.4thbroadwaypurimshpiel.com.

Thanks to the generous underwriting of Michael Steinhardt and Lynn Schusterman, all proceeds from this year's Broadway Purim Shpiel will go to Taglit-Birthright Israel to help make their dream that it is every Jewish person's birthright to visit Israel, a reality.

The performance will be held at the Hudson Theatre (141 West 44th Street) in New York City.  The event begins 7PM with complimentary cocktails and light food.  The Purim Shpiel kicks off at 8PM, followed by a wine and dessert reception at 9:30PM.
