Support Free Theater in Prospect Park and enjoy a night of spectacular entertainment and joyful partying at our opening night of The Miser, re-imagined for today's world.
With this production, MIP will once again reinvent Molière for today's world while also keeping with our desire to stay true to the original French. We will both lean into non-traditional casting choices, including casting women in male roles and swapping genders, to highlight persistent biases, deconstruct existing power dynamics, and look into the barrel of existential paranoia and greed. Additionally, with the permission of David Chambers, certain passages will be revised employing direct translation from the original French.
The Benefit and Opening Night Party will be Friday May 3, at 6 pm - 11pm
Performance will begin at 7:30 pm
Tax deductible EARLY BIRD Tickets and GENERAL tickets will include:
A pre-show cocktail as the sun sets on the lake in Prospect Park, with bubbly and light hors-d'oeuvres.

A post-show party with the cast and crew (food and drinks will be served)
Tax Deductible BRONZE, SILVER, GOLD and PLATINUM Tickets will include:
All of the above AND
a raffle ticket to win a week long stay in a gorgeous and newly renovated 6 bedroom chalet, in the French Alps valued at $3250*
Tickets to the benefit party can be found here. The Miser will run from April 27th - May 19th.
Watch the Derby in style!
In partnership with Veuve Clicquot, Angels Envy, Hennessy, Makers Mark, Don Julio, and fashion partner Alice + Olivia, the event includes unlimited cocktails and cuisine (including mint juleps, southern food staples, and a fresh seafood bar).

Following a special kickoff event for those participating in the Quadrille, a formal launch reception for the Quadrille Ball is due to be held on Wednesday, November 15th which will pay tribute to the upcoming 63rd Annual Quadrille Ball, a white tie charity event. The evening affair itself will then follow and take place February 24th, 2024, at 583 Park Avenue in New York City.
The exquisite gala will showcase an elegant night where guests will experience a cocktail reception and a three-course dinner followed by dancing and the premier highlight of the Quadrille performance.
The annual ball is a fundraiser for scholarships awarded to highly qualified students enrolled at U.S. or German universities. The Quadrille was founded decades ago to enhance and strengthen transatlantic relationships through education and exchange. Through its non-profit parent organization, the Germanistic Society of America, the Quadrille supports undergraduate, Master and PhD students.
The stipends awarded by the 501(c)3 non-profit organization offer students the opportunity to study and conduct research across the Atlantic. Scholarship recipients are chosen in cooperation with highly regarded organizations: the Fulbright program, the Institute of International Education (IIE), and Columbia University. More than 700 students have benefited from the Germanistic Society of America’s support over the years.
The Quadrille is organized by volunteers to ensure that the tax-deductible contributions from sponsors, advertisers, donors, and ball guests benefit the stipend fund.
The Quadrille Stipend Fund could not succeed without the continued and generous support of corporate sponsors, individual patrons, and other private donors. Financial and non-monetary donations help the Germanistic Society of America award its scholarships to outstanding students from the United States and Germany. Recent Sponsors have included the Full Scholarship Sponsor, The Mejean Family Foundation; Platinum Sponsors Max Kade Foundation, Inc., The Bye Family, and Dr. William Radin; as well as Diamond Sponsors, The Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Foundation and Dr. and Mrs. Andrew Shiva.

Catch Nicole Travolta’s one-woman show, Doing Alright, directed by The Groundlings company member Lauren Burns, now playing Off-Broadway through February 24, 2024 in a limited engagement at SoHo Playhouse, located at 15 Vandam Street in New York City.
Doing Alright is a lively and unique account of Nicole’s life as a compulsive shopper who freedherself from debt and shame (and the weight of a famous last name) by a bizarre, real-life journey through the world of spray tanning. Surprisingly, it was a job she loved, and her impressions will introduce some of the eccentric characters she met to her audiences. Through humor, Travolta lightens issues such as debt, depression, divorce, addiction and female empowerment—all of which she has experienced first-hand. And she tells how this journey helped her find herself once more.
Performances are Wednesdays - Saturdays at 7pm through. 2/24. Tickets are $36.50 (includes fees).
