Dear Friends,

As many of you know, I've been working with Tony Award-Winner, Sutton Foster, putting together a benefit concert of SNOOPY!!! The Musical. What many of you don't know is who this concert is benefiting...

The Pied Piper Children's Theatre Company (uptown in Inwood) is giving more than 400 children a year, the opportunity to create. The company is dedicated to creating a non-threatening environment where young people can explore their creativity, learn new skills and develop a sense of leadership, community and service.

What makes PPCT unique is that it provides a truly safe atmosphere for young people, ages 5-17, regardless of race, color, religious belief, gender or sexual orientation. In a time where cultural and artistic freedoms are regularly challenged by budget cuts and a lack of governmental funding, organizations like PPCT are forced to turn to outside sources to provide an essential service to the youth of this country.

This is a call for your support. Through our website, we've created a VERY easy way for you to contribute to this incredibly vital organization. Any and ALL donations are welcome. We realize that it is a difficult time for many. But please consider making a donation towards the efforts of this company that provides an artistic and creative home for many children who may not otherwise have an outlet like this one where they can feel safe doing what they are doing and being exactly who they are.

The following are different levels of participation for you to consider. For donations in these amounts, your name will be listed in the program for your generosity. Thank you so much in advance for your support.
