New York -- Heiress Productions presents its New York premiere of James Sherman's farce "AFFLUENZA!"
The organization was founded to raise cancer awareness and funds through entertaining and inspirational professional theater.
Proceeds from the play will benefit Miracle House, a non-profit organization that provides assistance to caregivers and patients coming to New York City for treatment.
The production will run through April 6 at the Lion Theatre at Theatre Row (410 W. 42nd St., bet. 9th & 10th Ave.) with Maura Farver directing.
Heiress Productions founders, Mary Willis White, formerly of Winchester, and Laura Faith, have inherited family pain, loss, and healing from cancer.
They created Heiress Productions to reach the public, using the company's artistic gifts and passions to bring information and financial support to patients and their families through respected foundations.
It is a not-for-profit organization committed to raising cancer awareness and funds through entertaining and inspirational professional theater productions which reflect on the small moments that create art in daily life.
The play, a comedy of manners, is a modern-day Moliere, a witty story of the twists and turns of a multi-millionaire and the family members who hope to be his heir.
The Chicago Reader raved that "AFFLUENZA!" is "a clever and delightful piece of theatre."
Heiress' first production, "Lunch Hour," benefited Gilda's Club of New York City.
Miracle House, an organization founded in 1990 to provide temporary housing to caregivers coming to New York City to support people living with HIV/AIDS.
Through the years, its mission has grown to include anyone seeking critical medical treatment including cancer, clinical trials, reconstructive surgery, and more.
Proceeds from the production will be donated to the non-profit organization.
Tickets for $20 are available at www.ticketcentral.com or at 212-279-4200.
