Uptown Downtown Benefit
Abrons Art Center needs you
Put down the knitting, the book and the broom! Not like any of you knit or clean, but read up, because it’s time to get cultured for a cause.
On Monday, October 14, the ravishing Russian Mikhail Baryshnikov will serve as the Honorary Chairman for Uptown Downtown, a special one-night-only extravaganza to benefit the Abrons Arts Center.
The Mistress of Seduction Joey Arias will be there, in addition to Ellen Greene (best known as Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors), the lovely Bebe Neuwirth, and the divine dancer Robert La Fosse. Strangers With Candy alumni Jack Ferver will perform with James Whiteside, the ABT ballet dancer who just gave us some sweet, sweet eye candy on the front page of the NYT Arts & Leisure section, as well as the fierce choreographer Kyle Abraham, who was just awarded a $625,000 MacArthur Genius award. And Philippe Petit, the Man on Wire who walked across the Twin Towers, will also make an appearance.
What a spectacular cast of characters. Ticketing Levels are as follows: $1,000; $500; $250; $100. But guess what? GAYLETTER readers can use the discount code GAYLETTER for $50 tickets to the cocktail party and benefit performance (limit 2 per person).
So don’t miss out, darlings.
