FRIENDS IN DEED
20th Anniversary Celebration
Hosted by Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, the 20th Anniversary Celebration of Friends in Deed will send guests on a once-in-a-lifetime thrill ride through the
American Museum of Natural History on one of legendary composer Stephen Sondheim's coveted Treasure Hunts.
Guests will participate in a unique and exciting fundraiser that, for the first time, will lead teams through the museum on a magical and brain teasing team competition. The few New York insiders that have been lucky enough to previously participate in Mr. Sondheim's coveted treasure-games, know what an amazing night they are in store for.
ABOUT THE HUNT:
In the late 1960's Sondheim started having Game Nights with his friends. They gradually grew in size and complexity. In one of his famed Halloween Hunts, created with Anthony Perkins, the participants arrived at an old brownstone, rang the bell and were invited in by an unknown white-haired lady who is was sworn to answer no questions. Tensely, they waited for their next message as she served coffee and cake in silence. Film star Lee Remick was hungry and ate her portion. "Stop!" shouts the group-leader--too late. Rearranged, the icing on the cake would have revealed the map reference of their next rendezvous.
Join us for what is sure to be an unforgettable evening.
