Tony nominee Emily Skinner (Side Show) will headline 42nd Street Moon’s 2020 gala fundraiser, Come to the Moon, February 4 at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco.
Skinner most recently appeared on Broadway as Georgia Holt in The Cher Show. The stage alum’s Main Stem credits also include Prince of Broadway, Billy Elliott, Dinner at Eight, and The Full Monty.
All funds raised for the gala will benefit the campaign to renovate the Gateway Theatre and expand MoonSchool’s education and outreach programs. The Bay Area venue continues its season with A Gentleman’s Guide to Murder, beginning performances February 26.
The event is the culmination of the program that pairs theatre professionals with NYC public high school students for a year of shows and conversations.
Proceeds from the event support Self Help Africa's work to alleviate hunger, poverty, social inequality, and the impact of climate change in sub-Saharan Africa.
