The Long Beach Playhouse and local improv artists Held2Gether will team up to provide a night of improv and sketch comedy to benefit the WomenShelter of Long Beach, the playhouse announced Tuesday. The show, A Miracle on Anaheim Street<\/em>, will take place on Saturday, December 5.<\/p>\n

“This is a great opportunity for us at the Playhouse to give back to our community,” said Playhouse Executive Director Andrew Vonderschmitt in a statement. “We are always looking for ways to collaborate with local artists and if we can benefit a local institution in the process it’s a win-win.”<\/p>\n

A Miracle on Anaheim Street<\/em> is the brainchild of Held2Gether founder, Darren Held, according to the announcement. Held says this first holiday show with the playhouse should make for a side-splitting evening of short sketches and long form improv.<\/p>\n

\u201cLong Beach is an amazing community, full of so many worthy charities,\u201d said Held in a statement. \u201cThe fact we can complement the WomenShelter and their valiant mission in any way is truly an honor.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Domestic Violence is a community problem and we are so grateful to the Long Beach Playhouse and Held2Gether for bringing holiday high-jinx and good spirits to our community to raise much-needed funds for our shelter and programs.” said Director of Development Susan DeLand in a statement. “A Miracle on Anaheim Street will make miracles happen for families struggling for a brighter future.”<\/p>\n

Performance is at 8:00PM on Saturday, December 5. The box office will be open Wednesday through Saturday from 3:00PM to 8:00PM. Tickets are available via the playhouse website here<\/a> or by calling 562.494.1014, option 1.<\/em><\/p>\n

Long Beach Playhouse is located at 5021 East Anaheim Street.<\/em><\/p>\n
