On February 14th, 2005, there will be a special benefit performance of Cirque Jacqueline at The Triad Theater in Manhattan. Cirque Jacqueline is a passionate one-woman play about Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, written and performed by Andrea Reese. All proceeds from this performance and from a silent auction at the theater the same evening will go directly to The American Red Cross International Response Fund to help the victims of the 2004 tsunamis in Southern Asia and Eastern Africa.

The Triad Theater and everyone connected with this event are generously donating their services. The play premiered in Manhattan March, 2002 and has been wowing audiences ever since.

Cirque Jacqueline is directed by Charles Messina, who will direct the Broadway musical about tragic opera singer Mario Lanza, Be My Love. He also wrote the feature film Spy, starring Vincent Pastore, Frank Vincent, and Ben Curtis, which will soon be released. Also in the play in a surprise role is Paul Urban.
