DON'T QUIT YOUR NIGHT JOB, the critically acclaimed comedy variety show featuring a revolving cast of Broadway's brightest performing without a net, welcomed the Spring at their monthly home The Zipper Factory (336 West 37th Street, between 8th and 9th Avenues) on Thursday, May 29 at 11:30pm. 

DON'T QUIT YOUR NIGHT JOB is where Broadway goes to let its hair down.  The late night happening of improv, music, sketches and stories was created by its stars:  industry mainstays Steve Rosen (The Farnsworth Invention, Monty Python's Spamalot), David Rossmer (Fiddler on the Roof, Titanic), Sarah Saltzberg (The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee) and music director Dan Lipton (The Coast of Utopia).

Open Doors is the Theatre Development Fund's theatre arts mentoring program for high school students, started in 1998 by TDF with playwright Wendy Wasserstein. Its goal is to explore the relevance of theatre in the lives of today's youth.  The program matches distinguished theatre and dance professionals with students who have no prior exposure to theatre for an entire school year.  Mentors accompany students to performances on and off Broadway, introducing them to the artists who create and perform them. DON'T QUIT is proud to have raised over $20,000 for Open Doors since June 2006.

Performing on May 29th were stars such as David Hyde Pierce, Julia Murney, Brian d'Arcy James, Matt Cavenaugh and Laura Osnes. For more information please visit www.dontquitnyc.com
