PAST PERFECT by Rita Lewis returns to Manhattan Rep for two benefit performances for The LGBT National Help Center on Saturday January 20 at 8 pm and Sunday January 21 at 3 pm. 100% of the ticket sales for these performances will go to benefit The LGBT National Help Center.

PAST PERFECT by Rita Lewis is a passionate love story between two female childhood best friends who reconnect thirty years later after a childhood incident caused a bitter estrangement. And how one friend's teenage daughter will now fit into this new scenario. It is funny, moving and a testament to the universal truth that love is love is love.

The play features Gerry Glennon, Jennifer Pierro and Erika Yesenia, and is directed by Ken Wolf, Artistic Director of Manhattan Repertory Theatre.

The LGBT National Help Center, an out growth of the New York Gay and Lesbian Switchboard, the oldest and longest running hotline of it's kind in the world works every day to help end the isolation and fear that many in our community still face. The LGBT National Help Center runs multiple hotlines and online services to connect highly training peer support volunteers with callers dealing with concerns such as coming out, school bullying, gender identity, relationship concerns, sexual orientation, suicide, fear, depression and so much more.
