Randy Rainbow to Lead WHITE RABBIT RED RABBIT Orlando Benefit Performance

Maberry Theatricals will welcome BroadwayWorld's CHEWING THE SCENERY regular Randy Rainbow on August 15 in a special benefit performance White Rabbit Red Rabbit, the internationally-acclaimed play by Nassim Soleimanpour.

All profits from this performance will be donated to the LGBT Center in Orlando, FL for the victims of the Pulse Nightclub Shooting. In addition to this, 25 tickets will be offered to homeless LGBT youth across the city.

WHITE RABBIT RED RABBIT makes its New York Premiere in this limited engagement, playing Monday nights at Westside Theatre (407 W 43rd Street). Performances began on March 7.

Forbidden to leave his country, young Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour found a way for his voice to get out when he physically could not. This wildly entertaining and thought-provoking theatrical piece - where no audience can see the same show twice - blends drama, comedy and social experiment, providing audiences with a potent reminder of the transformative power of theatre.

The play had its world premiere in 2011 at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, winning the Arches Brick Award, followed by presentations at Summerworks and Dublin Fringe Festival where it was awarded "Outstanding New Performance" and "Best New Performance" respectively. The play has since been translated into fifteen different languages and performed over 200 times worldwide - from London to Oslo, Athens, Berlin, Melbourne and Singapore - by such stars as Michael Shannon, John Hurt, Stephen Fry, Stephen Rea, Sinead Cusack, David Morse and more.

A portion of the play's profits go to PEN International, the world's leading association of writers working to promote literature and defend freedom of expression around the world (www.pen-international.org). White Rabbit Red Rabbit is produced in association with Aurora Nova Productions and Boat Rocker Entertainment.
