On Monday October 10, 2005 at 7pm there will be a special benefit performance of Cirque Jacqueline at The Triad Theater in Manhattan, located at 158 West 72nd Street. All proceeds from this event will go directly to The American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.

Cirque Jacqueline is Andrea Reese's highly acclaimed one-woman play about Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis that she has been performing in New York City and around the country for over three years. In Cirque Jacqueline, we meet the real Jackie who hid beneath a carefully constructed public persona. For more information about the play, visit http://www.jackieoshow.com

Cirque Jacqueline is directed by Charles Messina, who has been slated to direct the upcoming Broadway musical about tragic opera singer Mario Lanza, Be My Love. He 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.

The Triad Theater's owner, Peter Martin, and everyone connected with this benefit are generously donating their services.
