<> Start the New Year by Supporting the Variety Arts in New York City! Did you know that since August, over 50,000 people have visited the Palace of Variety and FREE Museum of Times Square? Now we need you to show your support by attending a show or making a generous cash gift during what could be our last performances. If we do not raise over $20,000 in the next two weeks, we will be forced to close our doors and the ONLY LIVE VAUDEVILLE and VARIETY ART THEATRE AND MUSEUM in Times Square will cease to exist! Don't let the Palace of Variety and FREE Museum of Times Square become another icon to the devastating effects of the sanitization of Times Square! This is your chance to show that you care about variety entertainment, the performers who bring their talents to New York and to help make this the greatest cities in the world! The Bindlestiff Family Variety Arts, Inc. is a 501 (e) 3 non profit performing arts organization and therefore all gifts to support our programs are tax deductible.
