requesting a donation to MEMORIAL SLOAN KETTERING CANCER
CENTER. There will be envelopes to place your check/cash and if you
wish to make a donation before the show date, please make payable

Plus a half-time show complete with a crowd-rousing mascot. “Rollicking roller coaster ride . . . rapid-fire hilarity . . . a powerhouse . . . kept a full house roaring . . . leaves you wanting much, much more.” - NYTHEATRE.COM.

NEW READING SERIES BRAVES COWARD’S CLEVEREST PLAY
The Noël Coward Festival at Lincoln Center opens a new reading series with Design for Living, dubbed “Coward’s cleverest play” by The New York Times. The series, known as Noël and Company, aims to celebrate Coward’s oeuvre along with the best of UK theatre since 1900. This brainchild’s parents are artistic director Keith Merrill and producing director Mary Ellen Ashley, whose producing credits include Broadway’s Godspell and Angels in America. Design for Living traces the love triangle of Otto, Gilda, and Leo -- the sexy conflict between two men who love the same woman (and each other). Incarnating this carnal trio are Amy Rutberg (Charles Busch’s The Divine Sister), Kevin Collins (Irish Rep’s Dancing at Lughnasa), and Keith Merrill (Camelot with Robert Goulet). The reading will take place at 6PM on Monday, 3/5 in the “Living Room” of The Gershwin Hotel. Arrive at 5:30PM for a pre-show Coward concert by Steve Ross in the main lounge.
