Stars Align for Benefit Performance October 29, 2005 to Support OPCC & The Actors' Gang

A Reading of 'Impossible Boulevard' Will Benefit Public Assistance Programs,

Homeless Youth, Adults and Families, Battered Women and Their Children, and

People Living With Mental Illness.

WHAT: Tim Robbins, Marisa Tomei, Don Cheadle, Eva Mendes, Alfre Woodard, and Tom Waits will perform a staged reading of "Impossible Boulevard," adapted from the book 40 Lives-From Homelessness to Hope. "Impossible Boulevard" celebrates the human spirit as it captures true stories of circumstance, misfortune, triumph and independence. Putting a human face on the homeless condition, "Impossible Boulevard" is a real life testament to what is possible when compassion and commitment combine to empower people to rebuild their lives.

The evening, hosted by Arianna Huffington, will include the performance and a post-show reception with the cast.

Proceeds from the evening will benefit The Actors' Gang Theatre Company and OPCC, a Westside network of shelters and services for homeless youth, adults and families, battered women and their children, and people living with mental illness.
