Urban Arts Partnership's annual 24 Hour Plays on Broadway fundraiser is November 15th. The event sells out every year, probably because the events brings the likes of Jennifer Aniston, Liev Schreiber, Rosie Perez, Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, David Cross, Eva Mendes, Sam Rockwell, with talented writers and directors to produce 4 plays in 24 hours performed at the American Airlines Theater on Broadway. Program and invite designed by me for the 4th year!
