EAG member Steve Hayes returns to the Guild stage in a live version of his hit YouTube show: “STEVE HAYES: Tired Old Queen at the Movies” and a benefit screening of the hilarious 1936 screwball comedy My Man Godfrey. Starring William Powell, Carole Lombard, and directed by Gregory La Cava, this fast-paced, madcap romp concerns a wealthy family during the Depression that hires a homeless man, as their butler, who isn’t all he says he is. With a stellar cast of classic, comic, character actors including; Alice Brady, Mischa Auer and Eugene Pallette, the stage is set for one of the zaniest and funniest comedies ever to hit the screen. Introduced and with a wine and cheese talk back afterwards by award winning comedian and movie buff, Steve Hayes, it’ll be an evening of hilarity you won’t want to miss!
All proceeds benefit the charitable programs of the Episcopal Actors' Guild and NYC's peforming artists in need.
