Wanna see one of the funniest men alive (in my humble opinion) and support a fantastic organization? NOW. YOU. CAN!!
Will Ferrell will make his Broadway debut in You’re Welcome America. A Final Night with George W Bush — and is offering a special performance to benefit the Actors Fund of America on Jan. 17th.
The Actors Fund is a non-profit organization that provides resources for entertainment professionals, including senior and disabled programs, mental health services, chemical dependency services and entertainment industry assistance programs. The group also runs the Phyllis Newman Women’s Health Initiative; the AIDS Initiative and helps provide low-cost housing for artists on both coasts.
You’re Welcome America begins previews at the Cort Theatre on January 20th and runs Feb 5th-March 15th. Tickets to the special Actor’s Fund benefit can be purchased by calling (212) 221-7300, ext. 133. Get ready to laugh your ass off, people!
