A Broadway performance of How to
Succeed in Business Without Really Trying starring Daniel
Radcliffe will benefit The Trevor Project, BroadwayWorld.com
reported.
A portion of every ticket sold for the
Thursday, October 6 performance will go directly to The Trevor
Project.
Radcliffe, who plays corporate
ladder-climbing J. Pierrepont Finch, and the show's cast will also
take part in a post-show Q&A. An auction featuring autographed
How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying merchandise
will also benefit the group.
California-based The Trevor Project
focuses on crisis and suicide prevention efforts for gay, lesbian,
bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth. The non-profit's Lifeline is
the nation's only 24-hour, toll-free confidential suicide prevention
hotline for gay and questioning young people.
In June, the group honored Radcliffe
for his gay advocacy with its Trevor Hero Award during a New York
City event hosted by Amy Poehler, star of the NBC sitcom Parks and
Recreation.
“I think of
everything I've done in my career so far, my association with Trevor
is the thing I'm proudest of,” Radcliffe said.
Radcliffe first appeared in a The
Trevor Project PSA in 2009.
