Marcie Gorman-Althof and Michael Lifshitz, the producing partners behind MNM Productions, one of South Florida's hottest new theatre companies, today announced that Alpert Jewish Family & Children's Service will be the exclusive nonprofit partner for the May 18 preview performance of its next production, Monty Python's SPAMALOT, which will run May 19 through June 4 at the Kravis Center's Rinker Playhouse.

"Using a show's preview performance as a fundraiser for a valuable cause or organization is a tradition for MNM Productions," says co-producer Lifshitz. "Previous beneficiaries include Communities in Schools and car crash victim Adam Hewko for HAIR, and the Metropolitan Community Church of the Palm Beaches for The World Goes 'Round."

"For the preview performance for Monty Python's SPAMALOT, we are very pleased to partner with AJFCS, which has worked for more than 40 years in the Palm Beaches to provide a wide range of services designed to strengthen individuals, families, and the community," adds co-producer Gorman-Althof. "While primarily a Jewish organization, its mission is to address the community wherever needs are required, regardless of religion."

Tickets to the preview performance of SPAMALOT are $50 each and are now available for purchase at the Kravis Center box office, 701 Okeechobee Blvd. in West Palm Beach; by phone at 561.832.7469; or online through the Kravis Center's official website at kravis.org.

The musical's cast of singing, dancing performers also includes Alexa Baray, AJ Cola, Ryan Corridoni, Keagan Czerny, Jonathan Eisele, Whitney Grace, Nicole Kinzel, Kyle Laing, Shenise Nunez, Christie Rohr, Pierre Tannous, Emily Tarallo and Frank Vomero.

SPAMALOT is being directed and choreographed by Broadway veteran Kimberly Dawn Smith, with Silver Palm Award-winner Paul Reekie serving as musical director.
