The Vineyard Theatre will toast Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon, alongside the company's founder Barbara Zinn Krieger and restaurateur Eric Petterson, in a benefit for the Off-Broadway company, Dec. 2.

Hollywood power couple Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon are also passionate about theatre. Robbins runs the Actor's Gang Theatre in Los Angeles and both contribute funds and their time to Off-Broadway theatre, hosting this year's Lortel Awards and starring in The Guys at the Flea.

Betty Buckley, Judy Kuhn, Kyra Sedgwick and Kathleen Chalfant, all veterans of productions at the Vineyard, are expected to perform. Veanne Cox and Patricia Clarkson will host.

Mary-Louise Parker, Billy Crudup and restaurateur Danny Meyer are Honorary Chairs of the benefit. Kitty Carlisle Hart, last year's benefit honoree, is the Gala Chair with Vineyard board member Jill S. Gabbe.

Tickets to the benefit are $250, $500 and $1000. The Union Square Theatre is located at 100 East 17th Street. For reservations, call (212) 353-3366. — By Christine Ehren
