Auction winners can choose from 125 listings in honor of The Fund's 125th Anniversary, including the chance to have a private guitar lesson with Michael Cerveris, take a private Shakespearean acting lesson with Lynn Redgrave, or make a Broadway debut with walk-on roles in such shows as Rent, Phantom of the Opera and Mamma Mia!.
