On Sunday April 18th, Broadway will be right in Bergen County when Skyline Theatre Company (STC) hosts its 9th annual "Broadway for the Arts" benefit fundraiser at Biagio's Ristorante in Paramus (www.biagios.com). Broadway performers from such shows as Wicked, Mary Poppins, and Phantom of the Opera are scheduled to perform.
Hosted by Broadway veteran Jim Stanek, this is an evening of song, laughter, fine dining, and a ringside seat for the best talent Broadway has to offer. Exciting live and silent auctions round out this special event, with items including Broadway show tickets and autographed posters, sports memorabilia, and beauty packages. Be close enough to touch these Broadway performers as they bring down the house at this evening that celebrates the arts in New Jersey. To purchase tickets, call STC's box office at 800-474-1299. If you reserve by April 9th, your tax deductible ticket price is $60 each; tickets are $75 at the door. All proceeds go directly to support STC's not-for-profit productions and educational programs.
