Donna Vivino, who plays Elphaba in the First National Touring Company of Wicked, and other cast members from the tour, are slated to perform at Defying Inequality, an evening of cabaret performances promoting equality and civil rights, at the Birch North Park Theatre in San Diego on August 24.

Produced by company members of Wicked, the show will benefit four non-profit charitable organizations working to protect civil rights for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community: Equality California, Empire State Pride Agenda, Garden State Equality, and Vermont Freedom to Marry Task Force.

Performers will also include Nina West, Alison Arngrim and Judy “The Beauty” Forman. The evening will also feature live and silent auctions, including an opportunity to bid on an onstage appearance in Wicked at the Civic Theatre and other show-related items.
