The Source's Spring Benefit -- "Family Guy" Style

Saturday May 3 at manhattantheatresource (177 MacDougal Street, between Waverly Place & W 8th St) -- Two performances 7 pm & 9 pm -- Tickets $30

manhattantheatresource, my non-profit theatre home, is throwing a Spring Benefit unlike any other. Spontaneous Combustion is the Source's trademark 48-hour play festival -- an intense race against the clock to present newly created short skits in under two days. For our Spring Benefit, we've teamed with the writers of TV's critically acclaimed "Family Guy" to produce one of the wildest Spontaneous Combustions ever.

On Thursday, May 1st, the "Family Guy" writers will be paired with two actors and given and opening line and a cultural reference to use in their skits. Overnight, they will create a brand new, five-minute skit. The actors will learn their lines Friday night in advance of Saturday's one night only performances.

Only two chances – 7 pm and 9 pm – to catch this very special evening only at the Source. Tickets are $30 at https://www.ovationtix.com/trs/pr/44701

All proceeds benefit manhattantheatresource. We will also have an auction that night -- featuring tickets to The Occupant and a backstage meet and greet with Mercedes Ruehl, "Family Guy" memorabilia, art work, tickets to shows, and much, much more.

Hope to see you there!
