Follow on Google News | Orlando Shakespeare Theater Partners with Two Charities During Les Miserables“While Victor Hugo’s passionate story is one of survival, many of its characters are impoverished and hungry,” said Artistic Director Jim Helsinger. “We’ve partnered with Second Harvest Food Bank to stand up for hunger relief and the 1 in 6 people in the United States that struggle with hunger every day.” Additionally, the Theater hopes to increase public awareness and alleviate the suffering of individuals affected by HIV/AIDS. Following every performance, the cast of Les Misérables will collect donations on behalf of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS (BC/EFA), one of the nation’s foremost industry-based, nonprofit AIDS fundraising and grant-making organizations. “HIV/AIDS is an issue that remains close to the theater community’s heart. The success of Les Mis has created an important opportunity to show our support,” said Helsinger. In 2014, BC/EFA has awarded over $5.6 million to more than 450 HIV/AIDS and family service agencies across the country, including the Central Florida Haven of Hope Ministries in Orlando. Donations can also be made online at http://www.broadwaycares.org/ Single tickets to Les Misérables are available by calling (407) 447-1700 ext. 1, online at www.orlandoshakes.org, or in person at the Box Office located inside the Lowndes Shakespeare Center. Les Misérables is presented through the support of the Bryce L. West Foundation. Additional supporters include John & Rita Lowndes, Ken & Trisha Margeson, Albert & Lisa Prast, Kathryn Chicone Ustler, David & Lyn Berelsman, Suzanne Gilbert, Harriett Lake, and Frank Santos & Dan Dantin. Corporate supporters include Massey Services, UCF College of Arts & Humanities, and UCF Office of the President. Orlando Shakespeare Theater is supported by United Arts of Central Florida, host ofpower2give.org/ End
