Skyline Theatre Company Hosts 9th Annual Broadway For The Arts Benefit, 4/18

No need to travel into Manhattan on Sunday April 18th! That's the night that Broadway will be right in Bergen County when Skyline Theatre Company (STC) hosts its 9th annual "Broadway for the Arts" benefit fundraiser at Biagio's Ristorante in Paramus (www.biagios.com).

Broadway performers from such shows as Wicked, Mary Poppins, and Phantom of the Opera are scheduled to perform. This is an evening of song, laughter, fine dining, and a ringside seat for the best talent Broadway has to offer. Exciting live and silent auctions round out this special event. Be close enough to touch these Broadway performers as they bring down the house at this evening that celebrates the arts in New Jersey.
