Northern California's Largest Annual
AIDS Benefit Concert & Gala
"Help is on the Way" is an elegant evening of fun designed to raise funds
for Bay Area AIDS service provider agencies.
If you haven’t got your tickets yet, there are still a limited number left for the summer’s hottest show, “Help is on the Way XIV: Blame it on the Movies” on Sunday, August 3rd, 7:30pm at the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre. While we regret to announce that our own Grand Diva, CAROLE COOK, will not be able to appear this year due to recent fall she took resulting in a couple of broken ribs, we’ve still got a stellar cast lined up with two new additions. JOAN RYAN, another “Help is on the Way” alum who most recently played here in the show “Ruthless” is joining the cast as is RITA MCKENZIE, well known for her portrayal of showbiz legend Ethyl Merman. They’ll be joining our other stars including “American Idol” stars KIMBERLEY LOCKE, CONSTANTINE MAROULIS, FRENCHIE DAVIS, RJ HELTON and VONZELL SOLOMON, and Broadway, TV and film stars MAUREEN MCGOVERN, RITA MORENO, JAI RODRIGUEZ, BRUCE VILANCH, RICKI LAKE, MARILU HENNER, VICKI LEWIS, LAUREN WOOD, PAULA WEST, THE BARBARY COAST CLOGGERS and International Ballroom champions CATE CAPLIN AND GARY FRANCO.
