DON’T QUIT YOUR NIGHT JOB, the critically acclaimed
comedy variety show featuring a revolving cast of Broadway’s
brightest performing without a net, is presented monthly
at The Zipper Factory Theater in New York City (336 West
37th Street, between 8th and 9th Avenues). Tickets
are $20.00 and proceeds go to benefit Wendy Wasserstein’s
TDF/Open Doors program.
DON’T QUIT is where Broadway goes to let its hair down. The late night
happening of improv, music, sketches, stories, games and surprises was created
by its stars: industry mainstays Steve Rosen (The Farnsworth Invention,
Monty Python’s Spamalot), David Rossmer (Fiddler on the Roof,
Titanic), Sarah Saltzberg (The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling
Bee) and music director Dan Lipton (The Coast of Utopia). It
is, truly, where Broadway and improv meet... and make out.
Open Doors is the Theatre Development Fund's theatre arts mentoring program
for high school students, and was started in 1998 by TDF with playwright Wendy
Wasserstein. Its goal is to explore the relevance of theatre in the lives of
today's youth.
