The evening unites theatre performers (who have selected the songs) and EAT playwrights, who rewrote the lyrics for the "food-centric" benefit.

In addition to Clark (The Light in the Piazza) and Kimball (Memphis), the concert features Capathia Jenkins (Caroline, or Change), Ryan Duncan (Altar Boyz), Zach James (Addams Family), Matthew Hydzik (West Side Story) and Sebastian LaCause (Dancing in the Dark).

The catered benefit evening takes place 6-9 PM at the Prince George Ballroom within the Prince George Hotel. In addition to benefiting Emerging Artists Theatre, proceeds will also go to the Actors Fund of America and Common Ground.

A silent auction will also offer dates with Cheyenne Jackson (Xanadu, Finian's Rainbow),  Tony winner Clark (The Light in the Piazza) and playwright Tina Howe.

Emerging Artists Theatre devotes its programming to developing new works from new playwrights and theatre artists. The company has premiered over 300 new works in its 18-year history.
