ACTORS FUND PERFORMANCES OF SWEENY TODD & JERSEY BOYS COMING UP!

Jersey Boys will be giving a actors fund performance on January 22. Sweeney Todd on January 29, and Odd Couple on March 19th. Actor fund performances are always electric. These three are all held on Sunday night.... so you know the casts from all other shows will be attending. Short of attending a opening night.. the audience electricity is thrilling. If you live in NY and can attend.. do not miss out. Ticket prices are the same. But all the actors, crew, and musicians perform for free. All the money goes to the actors fund. Sweeny Todd would be my first choice. But I bet all 3 will be fun.

I believe the Sweeny performance includes a reception. And all for normal box office prices. Plus it is a tax write off.

Call and ask. Rear Mezzanie is already sold out.

Aren't you giving the money to a charity though?

But can't you write off any time you give to charity, no matter what you get in return.

Re Charitable Deductions (as copied from this site: http://www.gofso.com/Premium/LE/15_le_cg/fg/fg-Charity_Tax.html)

"... If you go to a charity affair or buy something to benefit a charity (e.g., a magazine subscription or show tickets), you cannot deduct the full amount you pay. Only the part above the fair market value of the item you purchase is fully deductible. For example, if you pay $500 for a charity luncheon worth $200, only $300 can be deducted. An exception allows you to deduct the full amount if what you get in return is insubstantial in value (e.g., 2% of the value of your contribution) and the charity tells you the deductible amount...."

In summary, you might want to check before deducting full tkt amount.

is there like autogrphed posters in the lobby to buy, or is that a whole different thing?

but this sounds exciting for these shows to do it, wish i could see them!!!!

:)

The autographed posters are usually for Broadway Cares/ Equity fights AIDS.
This is different, but still cool.
