BC/EFA Auction Offers LOOPED VIP Opening Night Package

In keeping with their series of opening night auction packages, Broadway Cares / Equity Fights AIDS (BC/EFA) is proud to offer a lucky bidder the chance to be the "dahling" guest of a legend at the opening night of LOOPED.

Four-time Emmy Award winning actress Valerie Harper returns to Broadway as the irrepressible Tallulah Bankhead in Matthew Lombardo's outrageous new comedy LOOPED. The producers of this ground breaking new comedic drama have generously donated a pair of prime seats along with two passes to the star studded opening night party with the proceeds to benefit Broadway Cares / Equity Fights AIDS.Based on a real event, LOOPED takes place in the summer of 1965, when an inebriated Tallulah Bankhead stumbles into a sound studio to rerecord (or ‘loop') one line of dialogue for her last movie --Die, Die, My Darling. Ms. Bankhead was known for her wild partying and convention-defying exploits that surpassed even today's celebrity bad girls. Given her intoxicated state and inability to loop the line properly, what ensues is an uproarious showdown between an uptight film editor, Danny Miller and the outrageous legend. The lucky winner of this auction will receive- A pair of VIP tickets to the opening night of LOOPED on Sunday March 14th, at the Lyceum Theatre.- Two passes to the opening night party immediately following the performance.To Bid on this item - click here!"Extraordinary Auctions" is an online fundraising initiative started by BC/EFA in August 2008 geared at providing "once in a lifetime" theatrical experiences and extremely rare one-of-a-kind items to the highest bidder.
