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 (Monty Python's Spamalot, The Farnsworth Invention), DAVID ROSSMER (Fiddler on the Roof, Titanic), SARAH SALTZBERG (The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee) and music director DAN LIPTON (Paris Commune, The Coast of Utopia).

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 them.



If you didn't see it before, the DQ website is up, go check it out guys!! Videos, pictures, lots of new stuff!!

I always seem to miss this when I'm in NY but it sounds fun. Glad to know they have a website now... is the guestbook where we can request certain actors?

WOOHOO BRIAN D'ARCY JAMES!

Which charity is this show benefiting?

isn't it always for Open Doors? I've never known it to not be for Open Doors, even as far back as the Joe's Pub days.

I am very excited by the return of Jeff Hiller- if I played favorites he would be my favorite.

I'd like to go. I need to see if I can work this out.

Wonderful casting as usual!

I don't play favorites when it comes to DQ. But the people I love know who they are :)

Can Julia and Brian reenact The Wild Party somehow? 'Cause you know, that would be fantastic.

I have to figure out a way to see this show eventually.

I'll be there with bells on, babies! Yay.

Bumping this up so you all make plans to come on Thursday night!

The last few months have sold out and many people had to be turned away at the door, so be sure to buy your tickets now!

Posted: 5/27/08 at 3:11pm

Bought my ticket the minute the press release came out. Seriously, buy your ticket in advance - I almost didn't get in last time because I didn't buy a ticket beforehand.

Posted: 5/27/08 at 3:33pm

You guys have fun for me!

[liotte]

Posted: 5/28/08 at 10:56am

I wonder if any other guests were added? Sometimes others get added on the list the day before the show.

[JerseyGirl2]

Posted: 5/28/08 at 6:58pm

Got our tickets. It was packed last time.

[liotte]

Posted: 5/28/08 at 11:35pm

Be sure to bring a little extra cash for some cool DQ stuff!!

Have fun everyone! I still cannot go this month. Boo! Maybe for the June show I'll plan better because my only problem is it being kind of far from my house and having no friends interested in going at all. The distance thing is only because I can't get a train or bus out of the city after 12:30am, and I don't drive in ever by myself. I'll have to look into staying in a YMCA overnight maybe.

[Eris0303]

Posted: 5/29/08 at 2:33am

I feel ya Marianne. I live in Jersey and the last train home is at 1:41am and then I have to be at work by 10am on Friday.

I'm looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts on the show!

Is there any way Brian D'Arcy James could become a permanent fixture on this show? Cause DAMN he was great, and so so so so funny. He's a natural.

Loved the Musical Mad Libs this time around. What was it, "I kissed her under the vagina?" Oh, the hilarity and immaturity of it all. Loved it.

And...that's really all I can think to say right now. I had a great time, as always.

[JerseyGirl2]

Posted: 5/30/08 at 4:16am

"We made out, under the vagina!"

Brian D'Arcy James singing was the highlight of the night for me.

And I will never ever look at October without thinking of Julia Murney.

What a great time. Right up until the moment I realized the turnpike was closed going South. I JUST got home.
