DATE & TIME: SAT., DEC. 6, 2025 - 8 PM EST

Broadway legend and TONY Award recipient JULIE HALSTON also reprises her original role of "Kitty, The Countess de Borgia". Ms. Halston's Broadway credits are numerous, including "Tootsie", "Hairspray", "Gypsy", "Anything Goes", "Twentieth Century" and "You Can’t Take it with You". She has also played the popular character "Bitsy Von Muffling" on both "Sex and The City" and it's reboot, “And Just Like That”. Also starring is DOUG PLAUT, as seen on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”, "Hurricane Bianca: From Russia with Hate”, "The Sixth Reel", and “Mother, May I Have a Kidney?”

DIRECTED BY KEN SANDERS, AND FEATURING: LAURA BOPP, ED CASEY, KIM CULLEN, JOHN FICO, VINNY IAROPOLI, MELISSA MELI, GARRY NOVIKOFF, KEN SANDERS and MARGO SYMEON.

PLOT: It’s Germany, 1940, on the verge of World War II and Prof. Erik Maxwell is on a mission to free his mother, Raina Aldric, from Hitler’s dungeons. But in order to do so, he must ingratiate himself with the cruel Baron Wilhelm Von Elsner. Into this intrigue wanders vain and politically oblivious concert pianist Gertrude Garnet. She and her hard-boiled traveling companion, Kitty, have eyes only for the Baron’s family jewel vault. Will Gertrude awake from her self-absorption? Will she succumb to Erik’s advances – or the Baron’s? Will she escape the vengeance of Baroness Augusta Von Elsner? The answers can be found in this loving homage to World War II thrillers and their daring heroines (Norma Shearer in "Escape", Ingrid Bergman in "Notorious", and Joan Crawford in "Above Suspicion" and "Reunion in France".)

Mr. Busch is also the author of "Vampire Lesbians of Sodom", "Psycho Beach Party", "Sleeping Beauty or Coma", "Times Square Angel", "Red Scare on Sunset", "Shanghai Moon", “The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife", "Die Mommie Die!", "Pardon My Inquisition or, Kiss the Blood Off My Castanets", "The Divine Sister", "The Tribute Artist", and many more works.

All proceeds from this fund raising event go to help support our dear friend, Ken Sanders, as he works hard to get his life back to normal after tremendous medical events. In March 2025, Ken suffered a series of cascading medical events. This left him in a financial situation that most people would find exceedingly difficult to rebound from. Currently still looking for a job after being part of a national layoff in 2024, Ken needs our support more than ever. Please come and enjoy this theatrical one night only event!
