From Seth Rudetsky's Column On Playbill.com:
"Even though BC/EFA is losing a tremendous amount of money due to the strike, the good news is that The Ritz is working super hard to fund raise due to the amazing leadership of our stage manager, Tripp Phillips. Tripp was the stage manager for the Jersey Boys national tour last year — that was the first national tour to actually win the Easter Bonnet fundraising over all the Broadway shows! Brava! Anyhoo, many nights we not only collect money in buckets, sell autographed posters/programs and the "Carols for a Cure" CD, but we also auction items. Young hunk Justin Clynes and ex-porn star Ryan Idol have been auctioning off their towels (seriously! Once for $700!) and the dedicated Rosie Perez also auctions off her earrings. One night, however, someone said they'd pay $2,000 for her bra! She literally wriggled out of it onstage, autographed and forked it over!"

I was there for Justin Clynes' towel auction.
I'm happy that these eight are trying their very best to raise money on behalf of the other shows. Kudos.

Posted: 11/20/07 at 10:23amThat's really awesome. I hope the sales are going well for this. It looks like a fun show. Rosie is just wonderful and it seems the guys are doing a great job. I only wish some of the other great Plays had better Theatres to work in.
