Co-Produce Broadway Stars Benefit honoring Judith Light!
On November 29th, our organization Broadway Speaks OUT! will host it's 2nd Annual A Very MARY Holiday event in New York City at Dixon Place (www.dixonplace.org).
This event will benefit the Ali Forney Center (www.aliforneycenter.org) and we will be honoring Actress Judith Light.
To put on a gala of this magnitude, we are asking for additional "Producers" to help sponsor the event. All money raised will go into venue costs ($1000) and production costs (Ranging between 3k and 4k). The names of each person who donates will be placed in our programs and be verbally named in our sponsor section of our show, if you so choose.
Proceeds will NOT be used for anything other than the cost of the venue, and production costs which include purchasing of the actual award for Mrs. Light, a small elevated stage, step-and-repeat, and any additional technical aspects required to put on the gala this year.
