Theatre In The Park to Offer Benefit Performace of THE ELEPHANT MAN, 4/21

Jesse Gephart has been a beloved member of the theatre community here at Theatre In The Park for many years. Among his many roles, he has delighted audiences year after year as Crumpet the Elf in the hilariously funny one-man production of The Santaland Diaries, bringing joy and happiness to many, particularly those enduring hard times during the holiday season.

This past weekend, Jesse met with unspeakable loss when he lost his home in the Pinnacle apartment fire while he was out of town. He and his partner lost everything...including their two precious pets. Jesse has been there for all of us, with his trademark smile and boisterous laugh, and now, we here at Theatre In The Park would like to do a little something in return to help Jesse. The cast and crew of the Theatre In The Park's critically acclaimed production of The Elephant Man are announcing a special benefit performance at 7:30pm on Thursday, April 21st in Jesse's honor. All proceeds from this benefit performance will go directly to Jesse and his partner in the hopes that they can be able to replace the many personal items lost in the fire.

We hope you will join us for this very special evening of theatre to come to the aid of a very deserving actor, director and friend. Reservations can be made by calling (919) 831-6058, or by visiting our website: www.theatreinthepark.com.

We look forward to having you with us!
