DON'T QUIT Announces Its Special Guests For November 20

DON'T QUIT YOUR NIGHT JOB, featuring a revolving cast of Broadway's brightest performing without a net, takes it home for Thanksgiving at The Zipper Factory Theater (336 West 37th Street, between 8th and 9th Avenues) on Thursday, November 20 at 11:30pm. Tickets are $20 and proceeds go to benefit the Theatre Development Fund's Open Doors.

DON'T QUIT YOUR NIGHT JOB is where Broadway goes to let its hair down. The late night happening of improv, music, sketches and stories was created by its stars: industry mainstays Steve Rosen (The Farnsworth Invention, Monty Python's Spamalot), David Rossmer (Fiddler on the Roof, Titanic), Sarah Saltzberg (The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee) and music director Dan Lipton (The Coast of Utopia).

On November 20, DON'T QUIT will mark one year of performances at the Zipper Factory. The show began as a one-off benefit on June 26, 2006 at Joe's Pub, which grew into 10 sellout months. In the spring of 2007, a commercial production played off-Broadway at the HA! Comedy Club in Times Square. By 2008, the show was firmly planted at the Zipper Factory, playing to oversold houses every month.

This month's show will feature a number of first-time guests, including a handful of veteran screen actors: Dylan Baker, Noah Emmerich and Richard Kind. Tony nominee Gavin Creel makes his first official appearance, and old friend Marc Summers, from the ‘80s game show Double Dare, returns for a third time. As always, many surprises are in store.

Tickets for DON'T QUIT YOUR NIGHT JOB at The Zipper Factory Theater are priced a $20 and can be ordered online at thezipperfactory.com or over the phone at 212-352-3101.

Open Doors is the Theatre Development Fund's theatre arts mentoring program for high school students, started in 1998 by TDF with playwright Wendy Wasserstein. Its goal is to explore the relevance of theatre in the lives of today's youth. The program matches distinguished theatre and dance professionals with students who have no prior exposure to theatre for an entire school year. Mentors accompany students to performances on and off Broadway, introducing them to the artists who create and perform NYC theatre.

DON'T QUIT is proud to have raised over $30,000 for Open Doors since June 2006.
