On
Thursday, June 23rd at 7 PM, Playwright and actor Charles Busch will host True Colors: A
Celebration of Music and Dance at Lincoln Center at the Rose Theater, Frederick P. Rose Hall, Time Warner Center (Broadway at 60th Street).
The evening
will feature performances by an all-star line-up of entertainers

John Tartaglia, Lillias White, jazz artists Fred Hersch and Andy Bey,
opera singers Patricia Racette and Beth Clayton, classical violinist

Critics Circle John Gassner Award for
Playwrighting). His off-Broadway credits include Times Square Angel, The Lady in
Question, Red Scare on Sunset, You
Should Be So Lucky, Queen Amarantha, Vampires Lesbians of Sodom,
Shanghai Moon and Flipping My
