'Die Mommie Die!' and Live Out Loud Host Benefit Show 10/10

Live Out Loud, New York's premier non-profit organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth, will host a special benefit performance of Charles Busch's Die Mommie Die! on Wednesday, October 10 at 8PM at New World Stages (340 West 50th Street).

"One of the most-anticipated and hilarious new comedies of the fall season, Die Mommie Die! is a riotous comedy-thriller steeped in the glamour of 1960s Hollywood," describe press notes. It stars Charles Busch as Angela Arden and Emmy Award nominee Van Hansis as Lance. The play is directed by Carl Andress and presented by Bob Boyett and Daryl Roth.

Earlier this year, Hansis made television history with the first on-screen gay kiss in daytime soap opera history on "As the World Turns." On the program, Hansis plays a gay teen.

All proceeds from the evening will benefit Live Out Loud, a six-year old organization dedicated to connecting LGBT youth to leaders and role models in the LGBT community through events and programs at area schools and universities.
