Ukrainian-born director Igor Golyak and Arlekin Players Theatre of Boston have launched the powerful #Artists4Ukraine social media campaign to raise critical humanitarian funds for Ukraine through the non-profit organization Nova Ukraine.
To date, Golyak has been joined by famed Hollywood actor Mark Ruffalo, Broadway's Danny Burstein, actress Jessica Hecht, Deaf actor John McGinty, and playwright Sarah Ruhl, as well as members of his Arlekin Acting company (all immigrants from the former Soviet Union). They have all posted heartfelt poems, monologues, songs, and messages for the people of Ukraine on social media with the hashtag #Artists4Ukraine and a donation link, urging fans and friends to help.
#Artists4Ukraine has raised over $15,000 for Nova Ukraine but there is so much more work to do.
To donate, please visit Arlekin Players Theatre’s Facebook page HERE. 100% of funds raised directly benefits Nova Ukraine, a non-profit organization providing critical humanitarian aid on the ground in Ukraine.

17) The Player's Theater
Presents
Beauty and the Beast
An original musical adaptation of “Beauty and the Beast”, inspired by the 1740 French Novella, and
decidedly not Disney, has been revived at the Players Theatre, and located at 115 MacDougal Street
(between West 3rd and Bleeker) in the West Village. The production features a live chamber ensemble
with music by Michael Sgouros and book and lyrics by Brenda Bell.
Largely based on the original book by Marie Beaumont, which was written in 1756, this version finds the title character, Beauty (Emily Sharick), to be a surprising heroine. Unlike most fairytale damsels, she is not waiting to be rescued by a prince charming. In fact, if there is rescuing to be done, Beauty will be doing it. But she is far from flawless, indeed she makes a number of mistakes, but as a true heroine, she always learns from her blunders.
In addition to the full 70-minute musical production; families can come an hour early to take part in a pre-show adventure workshop. Here the children meet members of the production team and learn about the music as well as the original story and how it was made into a musical. The actor playing the Beast
explains that he really isn’t scary; even though he is wearing a mask, he is still the same on the inside. Then everyone gets to make a mask of their own to take home with them.
“Beauty and the Beast” February 26th through April 10th on Saturday’s at 3pm and 7pm and Sunday’s at 11am and 2pm. The Players Theatre is located at 115 MacDougal Street (between Bleecker and West 3rd). Tickets are $42-$62 and can be purchased at: https://web.ovationtix.com/trs/pr/1004245 By calling 1-866-811-4111 or at the box office which opens daily at 11a.

Davis of Next Act 2 Follow, Neil Rubinstein/Dangerous and Stephanie Rosenberg/Financial Advisor at Wells Fargo Advisors, this is an evening to raise awareness of current social issues, as well as awareness of the work TRU has been doing for the theater community for over 28 years. Tickets and details are available at http://TRUSpeakTix.com
Familiar faces will include Tony and Emmy nominee and Obie winner Veanne Cox, Tony nominee Brenda Braxton, Broadway veterans Terry Burrell, Danny Bolero, Bruce Sabath and Todd Buonopane, TV, stage and film veteran Guy Whitlock, plus Daralyn Jay, Phil Chin, Jonathan Dauermann, Penelope Hsu, Jessica Luu Pelletier, Jacob Henrie-Naffaa and Patrick John O'Dea. The event is being produced by TRU executive director Bob Ost with Iben Cenholt, Joe Nelms and Janel Scarborough; Iben is also acting as technical coordinator and Joe is marketing coordinator, with graphics by Gary Hughes. The technical team includes Brian Lawton, Carley Santori, Jay Chacon, Henry Garrou and Gabriella Mykal.
In addition to presenting 7 powerful new short plays, TRU will be honoring producer-director-dramaturg Cate Cammarata with the TRU Entrepreneur Award for her virtual platform CreateTheater.com, serving an online community of artists and offering a platform for developing new work, especially during the COVID shutdown. Says TRU executive director Bob Ost, "Cate's embrace of virtual was visionary, and predated the shutdown that forced the rest of us to consider new ways of doing things."
TRU will also hold a remembrance of Van Dirk Fisher, the founding force behind New York’s Riant Theatre, Strawberry Play and One-Act Festivals and the Jocunda Music, Film and Theatre Festival that offered online support to new works and new voices of theater. Bob adds, "Van directed a powerful play in last year's TRUSpeak gala and supported TRU over the years in many ways. We and an entire community mourn his untimely loss and remember him with respect and gratitude."
General Admission tickets are $55 for the virtual show ($30 for TRU members), and VIP tickets are $90 ($75 for TRU), which include a post-show meet-and-greet with the creative teams and TRU Board and past Honorees. Circle of Angels tickets are $100, $250, and $500, and include the above play and after-party, plus a thank you credit in the waiting room, opening, and closing.
