In response to the devastating events in Haiti over the last 10 days, Pasadena Playhouse has announced a one-night-only benefit concert in support of three relief funds: Save the Children, UNICEF, and the Clinton Bush Haiti Relief Fund to raise funds for those affected by the earthquake in Haiti.
Pasadena Playhouse artistic director Sheldon Epps said in a statement, "The tremendous artists who live and work in the Los Angeles area have always been incredibly generous with their time and talents, and so willing to offer their gifts in support of those in need. That is exactly the case with this benefit. I am grateful to them, and so pleased that the Playhouse is able to participate by hosting this event in our theatre. I know that this very gifted group of performers will create an exciting evening of song and dance in support of a vitally important and urgent cause."
The Feb. 1 concert will benefit Save the Children, UNICEF and the Clinton Bush Haiti Relief Fund. Currently scheduled to perform are Erica Ash, James Barbour, Shoshana Bean, Billy Blanks, Jr. and Sharon Brown, Doug Carpenter, Yvette Cason, Loretta Devine, Michelle Duffy, Geno Henderson, Adam Irizarry, Paulette Ivory, Crystal Starr Knighton, Sharon Lawrence, Dawnn Lewis, Allan Louis, Angela Teek, Shannon Warne, and Harrison White.
