Feature: The Luke Neuhedel Foundation presents annual charity production of HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING

A group of Long Island performers and musicians have gathered together once again for a charitable cause in the Luke Neuhedel Foundation production of "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying."

Known as "LukeFest", the theatrical event has become a tradition to honor Luke Neuhedel - a young boy who died of a rare form of liver cancer in 2002 at the age of three - and to raise money for families coping with children diagnosed with cancer.

Audiences will have the opportunity to see the show at Maria Regina in Seaford this weekend - Thursday, April 5 at 8 p.m., Friday, April 6 at 8 p.m., Saturday, April 7 at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m., and Sunday, April 8 at 6 p.m. General admission is $18 while tickets for children under 10 and seniors are $15.
