DON'T QUIT YOUR NIGHT JOB Returns 7/9 After A Six Month Hiatus

By:

Don't Quit Your Night Job, featuring a revolving cast of Broadway’s brightest performing
without a net, returns after a six month hiatus on Thursday, July 9 at 11:30pm at their new venue, Julia Miles Theater (424 W 55th St/9th Ave). Tickets are $20 and proceeds go to benefit the Theatre Development Fund’s Open Doors Program.

Don't Quit Your Night Job is where Broadway goes to let its hair down. Filtered through the unique humor of its creators, Don't Quit is a late night happening of improv, music, sketches and offbeat performances you won’t see anywhere else. Along the way, Don't Quit has welcomed an astounding array of entertainers: Huey Lewis, Hank Azaria, Julianna Margulies, Michael McKean,
Marc Shaiman, Alicia Witt, Anthony Rapp, Sara Ramirez, George Wendt, Bebe Neuwirth, David Hyde Pierce, Julie White, Patrick Wilson, AndRea Martin, Marc Summers, Sutton Foster, Marc Shaiman and Kelli O’Hara are just a few of the many guests who have appeared on the show.

On July 9, Don't Quit will celebrate its 3rd Anniversary. 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 monthly, through the venue’s closing in early 2009.

The special birthday celebration will feature a mix of DQ veterans and first-time guests, to be
announced soon. $20 tickets for Don't Quit Your Night Job at Julia Miles Theater can be ordered online at telecharge.com or over the phone at 212-239-6200.

Don't Quit Your Night Job’s official website is dontquitnyc.com.

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.
