Theater Saves Lives: An Evening of Hope

A fundraising gala to benefit the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation, which seeks to find a cure and improve the quality of life for those affected by bile duct cancer.

Attendees can expect a full service open bar with specialty cocktails, a high-end, southern-inspired pass around dinner, dessert, live music, guest speakers from the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation, and a charity auction featuring fine art, sports memorabilia, and getaway vacation packages. Proceeds will benefit the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation and Ruth Stage.

Additionally, Ruth Stage founder Matt de Rogatis and Ruth Stage CEO Joe Rosario are expected to officially announce their January 2022 off-Broadway production of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, which Rosario will direct. As part of the evening, shortly after the announcement, a behind the scenes, virtuoso cast rehearsal will take place for all in attendance.

Two-time Tony nominee Alison Fraser and theater luminary Austin Pendleton will be guests at the gala event. Both will be a part of the rehearsal and the January production. Ruth Stage vice chairman, Spencer Scott, will also be present and announced as part of the cast.
