Don't miss this unique evening of effervescent THEATER, sparkling BUBBLY, and transporting SONG!
The brilliant wit of Noël Coward in three delightful bites, served up by a cast of New York’s most delectable actors. After complimentary sparkling spirits, the evening unfolds: Red Peppers, described by Coward as “a vaudeville sketch sandwiched in between two parodies of music hall songs”; Shadow Play: A Musical Fantasy, a surreal love story between a married couple and their younger selves; and Ways and Means, a madcap comedy about a young couple on the make. These are three gems from a cycle of ten one-acts, originally written for Coward himself to perform with the legendary Gertrude Lawrence, after audiences couldn’t get enough of them in Private Lives.
All proceeds help to make our programs possible.
This is a benefit performance for Red Bull Theater's Revelation Reading Series.
