DON'T QUIT YOUR NIGHT JOB is where Broadway and improv meet...
and make out. Filtered through the unique humor of its creators,
DON'T QUIT is a late night happening of improv, music, sketches
and offbeat performances you won't see anywhere else.
The
critically acclaimed comedy variety show was created by
industry mainstays Steve Rosen, David
Rossmer, Sarah Saltzberg and music director Dan
Lipton. It plays once a month at
Le Poisson Rouge in New York City (158 Bleecker Street)
with a revolving cast of guests from Broadway and beyond.
Tickets are $20 and proceeds go to benefit the TDF/Open
Doors program.
An astounding array of entertainers has let
its hair down at DON'T QUIT: Huey Lewis, Hank Azaria, Julianna
Margulies,
Michael McKean, Marc Shaiman, Alicia Witt, Anthony Rapp,
Sara Ramirez, George Wendt, Bebe Neuwirth, David Hyde
Pierce, Martha Plimpton, Patrick Wilson, Andrea Martin, Marc
Summers,
Kelli O'Hara and Mo Rocca are just a few of the many
guests who have appeared on the show.
Open Doors is the Theatre
Development Fund's arts mentoring program for high school
students. Started by playwright
Wendy Wasserstein, its goal is to explore the relevance
of theatre
in the lives of today's youth. DON'T QUIT is proud
to have raised over $30,000 for Open Doors since 2006.
