Bea Arthur and Billy Goldenberg add a special performance of Bea Arthur on Broadway: Just Between Friends for the Actor's Fund of America 8 PM March 17 at the Booth Theatre.

Audience-favorite Arthur, known for TV's "Maude" and "The Golden Girls," and Broadway's Mame, is a surprise holdover this spring. Her show of songs and anecdotes was intended as a limited engagement in February and March, but when a later booking at the Booth fell through, strong ticket sales encouraged Arthur and composer-pianist Goldenberg to extend indefinitely.

Tickets for the benefit range $51.25-$66.25. To purchase tickets, call (212) 221-7300 ext. 133, (212) 239-6200, or visit The Booth Theatre box office. For more information, visit actorsfund.org.

To support the showbiz organization that helps showfolk in need, Broadway companies give their time and talent by adding these special shows to their already rigorous schedules, and perform for audiences full of their peers from the entertainment community. Proceeds from all Special Performances benefit The Actors' Fund of America. Founded in 1882, The Actors' Fund of America is a national nonprofit organization that provides for the social welfare of all entertainment professionals. Professionals in film, television, radio, theatre, dance and music all turn to The Actors' Fund in times of need.
