Rent, Ave Q, Bee, and PQ joins in 4/23 concert to benefit Darfur

"The Save Darfur Coalition, which created the ad campaign visible in many subway cars and stations, has declared the last week in April as a week of action called “Global Days for Darfur.” Many local groups and businesses have responded by planning their own awareness events in the weeks to come.

The Knitting Factory, at 74 Leonard St., will host a concert benefit titled “Where’s Darfur?” at 8 p.m. on April 23. The event will feature performers from “RENT,” “Avenue Q,” “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,” “The Pirate Queen” and more. Gary Fritz, the Women of Calabash Drumming Ensemble, Clare Burson and Councilmember David Yassky are also expected to participate. Organizers are asking for donations and for volunteers to assist with the event."
