TRU Love Benefit honors Allan Buchman and Elysabeth Kleinhans at
Carolines on Broadway on Sunday, November 8th.

Award-winning actress Joanna Gleason joins the increasingly impressive roster of performers honoring producers Elysabeth Kleinhans and Allan Buchman at the annual TRU Love Benefit for Theatre Resources Unlimited.
Ms. Gleaon, who won a Tony for her memorable performance as the Baker's Wife in the original production of Sondheim's Into the Woods joins actor/director Fisher Stevens (TV's Early Edition, the original Broadway production of Torch Song Trilogy), Jenny Powers (the upcoming Pure Country, Grease, Little Women), and Nancy Anderson (Wonderful Town) along with Ramsey Faragallah, Brian Dykstra, Mark Mozingo and Eli Zoller. The performance will include highlights from two new musicals Yank! and Pure Country along with excerpts from Gutenberg! the Musical, Golden Boy of the Blue Ridge and The Exonerated.

Elysabeth Kleinhans, founder and artistic director of 59E59 theatres, will receive the Spirit of Theatre Award for her work and generosity within the Off-Broadway and Off-Off Broadway community. Allan Buchman, founder of The Culture Project, will receive the TRU Humanitarian Award. Theatre Resources Unlimited was formed to promote a spirit of cooperation and support within the general theatre community by providing information and entertainment-related services and resources that strengthen the capacity of producing organizations, individual producers, self-producing artists and other theatre professionals. In addition to producing two reading festivals of new works annually  (one for musicals and one for plays), the organization also provides a number of opportunities throughout the year for members and prospective members to connect with venerated producers and theatre professionals while discussing key aspects of the theatre business.
