Renée Elise Goldsberry and New 42nd Street Announce New Victory Family Benefit
New Victory Theater Family Benefit will take place at the New Victory Theater on December 11, the New 42nd Street has announced. Hamilton Tony Award winner Renée Elise Goldsberry will serve as honorary chair.
Inspired by the circus spectacular Mother Africa: My Home, the event will turn the theater into "a bustling bazaar of food, fun, and frolic." Funds raised will provide support for the New Victory's Education Programs, with proceeds specifically going to the theater’s Give a Kid a Seat campaign, which provides NYC students tickets to New Victory school-time shows as well as free classroom workshops, taught by New Victory Teaching Artists.
"Exposure to the arts helps kids express themselves creatively and it broadens their perspective on the world," said Goldsberry in a statement.
The New Victory Family Benefit is co-chaired by Sarah and Eric Lane and Nicole and Lee Weiss. The event is vice-chaired by Greg and Kim Lippmann and Michelle Fizer Peterson and Julio Peterson.
