"Alan's talent knows no boundaries," said Tom Viola, executive director of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, in a statement. "He is a brilliant, unique and off-beat actor and entertainer. His creative energies cannot be confined in any one category or box. Whether on stage or in film, his ornery versatility and sly humor make him an electric and endearing presence, sure to please and, at the same time, startle his audience. We are delighted that he will be joining us in New Hope for another edition of Bucks County Cabaret. It will be superb evening for a community that, since the earliest days of the crisis, has offered consistent and compassionate support for those affected by HIV/AIDS."

The evening will begin with cocktails at 5 PM, followed by a 6 PM performance and live auction. An exclusive VIP reception with Cumming will be held after the performance. Lance Horne will serve as the evening's music director.

Cumming, a Tony Award winner for Cabaret, has also appeared on Broadway in Design for Living, The Threepenny Opera and Macbeth. In addition to his work on "The Good Wife," he appears opposite Lisa Kudrow in Showtime's "Web Therapy" and is the host of "Masterpiece Mystery" on PBS.

Last year's sold-out Bucks County Cabaret featured Bebe Neuwirth and Malcolm Gets and raised $162,100 for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS is one of the nation's leading industry-based, nonprofit AIDS fundraising and grant-making organizations. By drawing upon the talents, resources and generosity of the American theatre community, since 1988 BC/EFA has raised more than $225 million for essential services for people with AIDS and other critical illnesses across the United States. VIP tickets start at $300; performance-only tickets start at $75. Tickets can be purchased by calling (212) 840-0770, ext. 268 or at BroadwayCares.org.
