By: BWW News Desk Aug. 23, 2007
The Red Fern Theatre Company presents "A Cabaret Fundraiser: An Evening of Personal Stories" on Monday, September 10, 2007 at 8pm at the Triad Theatre (158 West 72nd Street at Broadway).
The evening will feature songs and personal stories from Broadway stars Stephanie J. Block (The Pirate Queen, The Boy from Oz), Felicia Finley (The Wedding Singer), Aaron Lazar (Les Miserables, The Light in the Piazza), Tom Plotkin (High Fidelity), and Brian Charles Rooney (Threepenny Opera). The cabaret fundraiser benefits the Red Fern Theatre Company, a new theatre company created to incite positive change in our community by producing socially conscious plays while partnering with philanthropies whose mission seeks to assist those affected by the issues addressed in the play."In March 2006, Emilie E. Miller and Melanie Moyer Williams co-founded the Red Fern Theatre Company to incite positive change in our community by producing socially conscious plays while partnering with philanthropies whose mission seeks to assist those affected by the issues addressed in the play," state press notes.
"The RFTC seeks to establish a theatre company that, through its productions and outreach, provokes social awareness and social change. Each play produced by the Red Fern Theatre Company addresses social issues that range in scope from local to global. We pair each of our productions with a philanthropy whose work relates to the social themes of the play. We educate our audience on the philanthropy's mission, and a portion of the proceeds from each play produced is donated to the designated philanthropy. By associating each production with a philanthropic organization, we are able to respond directly to the people actually affected by the issues addressed in the play."Photo - Felicia Finley
