The fundraiser for the Hudson Stage Company will feature the talents of Liz Callaway, Ann Hampton Callaway, Steven Pasquale and Tony Award winner Cady Huffman. The benefit evening will begin at 7 PM with a picnic on the grounds of the Holden property in Croton on Hudson. The concert featuring Broadway performers will follow.

A silent auction will also be part of the festivities. Items include vacation homes, Broadway tickets and meals at top restaurants.

Liz Callaway, most recently on Broadway in The Look of Love, made her Broadway debut in the original cast of Stephen Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along, and she also took part in the anniversary concert of that musical.

Callaway's solo recordings include "The Beat Goes On," "Anywhere I Wander—Liz Callaway Sings Frank Loesser" and "The Story Goes On."
