Robert Intile, Jr. and Alina Gutiérrez are proud to present Sing For The Cure: A Benefitto take place on August 15th at 8pm at Don't Tell Mama, 343 West 46th Street, New York, NY.

The event is to raise money for The American Cancer Society and the play How My Mother Died Of Cancer, and Other Bedtime Stories, by Chris Kelly, to be featured in the 2010 New York International Fringe Festival. The concert will feature the talents of Russell Fischer (Jersey Boys) Taylor Frey (South Pacific, Finian's Rainbow), Rory O'Malley (...Spelling Bee, The Motion Picture "Dreamgirls" and co-founder of Broadway Impact), Julie Reiber (Wicked, Brooklyn, All Shook Up), and Tommar Wilson (Wonderland, HAIR).

The event will be hosted by Josh Hemphill (How My Mother Died Of Cancer, and Other Bedtime Stories), inspired by Kelly's real-life loss of his mother and including elements of his own experience, reflects humorously and sometimes uncomfortably on the effects of death on a family. Structured as a play within a play, it depicts a group of loved ones trying to cope with a matriarch's absence, each others' presence, and the complications that ensue when competing versions of the same life story are told. Part tragedy, part comedy, and part eulogy, the piece strivesto take the audience on a revealing and personal journey through diagnosis, treatment, funeral, and everything after.

For benefit tickets ($14), please call 212-757-0788 or visit www.donttellmamanyc.com/reservations.php.
