Ars Nova presents two encore performances of Rhapsody in Seth, written by and starring Emmy nominated and award-winning comedian Seth Rudetsky, as a benefit for The Trevor Project.

Tuesday, September 28th at 7 PM and 9 PM at Ars Nova (511 West 54th Street, just west of 10th Ave.).

The Trevor Project is a group that constructively raises issues of tolerance and acceptance among today's gay and questioning youth, their parents and their peers; demonstrating that there are positive solutions to the problems they encounter. www.thetrevorproject.org
