Ars Nova presents the third and final installment of Voices for Change, featuring performances from Broadway's leading musical actors, including Alfred Molina, Michael Cerveris, Cady Huffman and Karen Mason, among others. Friday, October 10th at 7 PM at Ars Nova (511 West 54th Street, just west of 10th Ave.).

Those scheduled to appear include: Alfred Molina, currently on Broadway in Fiddler on the Roof and the villain in Spider-Man 2; Cady Huffman, who won a Tony Award for The Producers and recently appeared on the past season of Curb Your Enthusiasm as "Herself" – but in real life, Cady is not a Bush supporter; Michael Cerveris, who received a 2004 Tony for Assassins, in which he played John Wilkes Booth; Christopher Durang, the Obie-winning actor and author of numerous black comedies, including The Marriage of Bette and Boo, Beyond Therapy, and Betty's Summer Vacation; Tom Hewitt, currently playing the title role in Dracula on Broadway; Liz Callaway, an acclaimed cabaret performer and Broadway actor, who received a Tony nomination for her work in Baby; Brian d'Arcy James, who was Tony nominated for his role in Sweet Smell of Success; Karen Mason, the award-winning cabaret singer who appeared in Mamma Mia!; Kelli O'Hara, on Broadway in Dracula; and Christopher Sieber, who appeared in the recent revival of Into the Woods.

The show will be hosted by Jim Caruso (the host of Broadway stars' favorite party on Monday nights, "Cast Party" at Birdland). Special guests are also expected—Alexandra Kerry introduced the first Voices for Change concert.

Concerts for Change is a national organization holding benefit concerts across the country to support John Kerry and Democrats. Concerts for Change is the successor to Concerts for Kerry, an independent grassroots group that raised more than $200,000 directly for the Kerry campaign through 41 concerts in 12 cities, attended by more than 9,000 concertgoers, between April and the Democratic convention at the end of July. The concerts have featured a wide array of talent including jazz performers Savion Glover, Joshua Redman, and Dee Dee Bridgewater; comedians Jack Black, David Cross, and Sarah Silverman; DJs/musicians Moby, Mark Ronson, and DJ Spooky; bands and rock musicians OK Go, Ted Leo, Michelle Shocked, and Pink Martini; and singer-songwriters Grant-Lee Phillips, Duncan Sheik, and David Poe.

Concerts for Change is the partner of Run Against Bush (www.RunAgainstBush.org). Both groups are campaigns of Running for Change, a political action committee that targets donor dollars to specific groups, such as the DNC, swing state Democratic committees, Democratic candidates for federal office in those states, and other efforts that will help elect John Kerry in November.
