WE CAN BE KIND A BENEFIT FOR JANE DOE NO MORE
80 E Ridge Rd, Ridgefield, CT 06877, USASaturday, June 22, 2019at The Ridgefield Playhouse80 East Ridge Road, Ridgefield, CTCreated and Directed by Daniel C. Levinewith Music by David FriedmanJoin us as we present an ALL-STAR CAST of Broadway actors and musicians for a performance like no other.It’s a night of impactful stories of survival that will leave you feeling empowered, inspired and exhilarated.
“When Donna Palomba (of Jane Doe No More) asked me to help support her remarkable organization, I decided that there was no way for me not to help. What I know how to do is to tell stories through theater. And what I realized is that, often times, stories of abuse and assault are extraordinarily difficult to tell. With skilled actors, singers, and musicians, events that are often too hard to speak of can be expressed and told in a creative way. We have put together quite a remarkable show that is not only inspiring, but also important. Along with David Friedman’s music which so perfectly captures the spirit and emotion of the show’s themes, We Can Be Kind is a must see!”
“Daniel Levine has brilliantly created an informative, emotional and ultimately inspiring evening, weaving my songs together with stories of triumph and overcoming. I couldn’t be more humbled and proud to have my songs used in this way, for this worthiest of causes.”Doors Open 6:45pm | Show Start Time 7:30Show runs 75 minutes with no intermission.General Seating $55Limited VIP Seating with Cocktail Hour $75100% of ticket sales goes directly to Jane Doe No More.or by calling The Ridgefield Playhouse Box Office at (203) 438-5795If you are unable to attend please consider making a donation here,
