The Spitznagel Spectacular (A Benefit Show)
We’re coming together to support two of the most wonderful people we know: Frank Spitznagel and Michele Foor — the way Frank taught us, by making musical improv! Frank is currently undergoing cancer treatment, and we want to show him and Michele just how much love and support they have from all of us.
We're hosting a musical improv showcase, the Spitznagel Spectacular, but this fundraiser is about more than just the show. It’s about showing Frank and Michele that they are surrounded by a community that cares deeply for them. Whether you're attending the event in-person, watching the live-stream, donating, or sharing this campaign, we are grateful for your support!
The Spitznagel Spectacular on Saturday, May 31 from 6 - 11 pm at the Wild East Brewing Co. in Brooklyn will be a night of never-before-seen musicals, lots of laughs, and lasting memories, featuring an incredible lineup of musical improv teams and performers. But beyond the fun and laughter, this event is about coming together as a community to lift up Frank and Michele during this challenging time. A donation of $15 is suggested for all event attendees.
