Theater Resources Unlimited (TRU) proudly announces the two honorees for their 8th annual TRU Love Benefit, which will be held on Sunday, November 8, 2009 from noon to 4pm at Caroline’s on Broadway, 1626 Broadway at 49th Street, NYC. Elysabeth Kleinhans of 59E59 Theatres will receive the TRU “Spirit of Theater” Award for her ongoing generosity towards TRU as well as the off-Broadway producing community in general; and Allan Buchman of Culture Project will be acknowledged with the TRU Humanitarian Award for his dedication to bringing politically and socially conscious works to life in New York theater, and successfully using the arts for social change.
The theme of this year’s benefit is “Opening Doors” in recognition of both the nurturing homes the honorees have provided for the development of new work and new opportunities; and for their dedication to keeping open doors of communication for political and international conversations in New York theater. The event will start with a cocktail hour at noon, followed by a full luncheon. Performances will include representative scenes and songs from shows developed at 59E59 or The Culture Project, including “Gutenberg the Musical”, Prospect Theater’s bluegrass musical” Golden Boy of Blue Ridge”, “Clean Alternatives” with writer Brian Dykstra and “The Exonerated” excerpts performed by celebrity guests. TRU will also present songs from upcoming musicals being developed by TRU producers. Nancy Anderson will perform a song from “Yank!”, the musical debuting off-Broadway in February 2010, and previewing a song from the upcoming Broadway musical “Pure Country”. In addition Brian Dykstra will perform a piece from his play “Clean Alternatives” and Radiotheatre will perform from one of their radio pieces.
The TRU Love “Opening Doors” Benefit will take place Sunday, November 8, 2009, at 12 noon, at Caroline’s on Broadway, 1626 Broadway at 49th Street, NYC, with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres at noon, luncheon at 1pm and performances and awards ceremony starting at 2:15.

Adrien Field and Alexandra Alexis have a new site and a new “webshow,” Almost Arrived, and people are taking notice. We’ve been patiently waiting for Gawker to jump all over these two, and this weekend, after they came across an ad in Craigslist for an intern for their new venture, they finally did. Adrien swears it is a fake ad, and we have more than one “tip” claiming it was actually frenemy Kristian Laliberte who planted the ad as a prank. Confused?So are we. In any case, they obviously are all subscribers of the “Any press is good press” sorts, and are quite pleased with the help in launching. Take a look at show #1:

please, has anyone ever talked to these two douchebags. I can totally see them writing this. She looks like a horse, and he looks like he wears the skins she sheds.
I can’t help but love these two. Everywhere I go they are there, how , why, who knows, they are so in. I say let them raise hell. Go girl and go Boy!

Please Kristian Laliberte wouldn’t stoop that low, and it would only give these two more un-needed press. who cares about them.___________________________________________________________________. Point taken.

Ok first off- Adrien & Alexandra-retard-face definitely wrote this.

No one cares about these two. He should get a new fur that didn’t come from that guy that sells out of a truck on Prince and Mercer… and that Missoni sweater has GOT to go! He should totally pick up a new one at Housing Works. Maybe he could even trade up to one without snags in it. We have all seen it a million times. Rachelle, there are much better people in NYC to cover.
loves you rachelle. I wish I had time to post this! I don’t really know who they are, but best of luck to them in their endeavors. very cute! xx

Wow. these two are a trainwreck in the making. i find it hilarious that anyone would even mention either of them in the same sentence as kristian laliberte. these two messes are talentless climbers who owe it to themselves to get out while behind. “Ive been in New York almost two years,” wait what? go back to jersey fool.

Wow, these two are particularly vile. Don’t mind her so much, but I would immediately call an exterminator if I stumbled upon Adrien scurrying across my red carpet, nipping at the tails and hems of finer yarns than his (which isn’t saying much) I suppose their age and still being in school is somewhat of an excuse. But they are, Vile Babies….
