George Christy Talks About Ava Fries, Ben Vereen, the Center Theatre Group ...

Couldn’t say enough about the necessity for young people to experience live theater. “Believe me ... this changes lives.” Ben then delivered a rousing interpretation of The Impossible Dream to stand-up applause.

The evening benefited the CTG’s youth education program, now in its 40th year, adding another million toward the $14 million that Queen Ava of the House of Fries raised during her 20-year tenure as chair of the CTG Affiliates. Ava being the indomitable , an honoree, who recalled his teenage youth during the ’70s when he attended his first Broadway show. “I remember where I sat to this day, and I’ll never forget the show. Pippin, starring Ben Vereen, which won Ben his Tony.” Next spring, Ben co-stars in the Broadway production of Pope Joan – “I’ll play the Cardinal.”

A dinner with Michael and his wife Kate Burton was among the auction items. They offered to open their Hollywood residence for six guests to share an evening of dinner and conversation. With Michael cooking! What menu we asked? “Mac and cheese.”

Also on the auction block was and wife Yvonne Bell.

We recall Michael’s 2005 arrival in Los Angeles. Welcomed as he was during a Sunday brunch at Ava and Chuck Fries’s mansionette in Beverly Hills. New to California, Michael confessed he didn’t know how his New York psyche would adapt. Ava and Chuck’s friends greeted him with flutes of chilled champagne followed by a groaning board buffet, with Michael beaming, as the warm California sunshine poured through the windows, “I can easily get used to this.” Now, years later, the CTG continues to enrich our community with its diverse programs.

In January, the CTG’s AhmansonTheatre world-premieres Funny Girl, directed by Tony winner who hosted a table for the annual Inner City Arts Gala at the Beverly Hilton. Louise has supported the Inner City Arts time and again.
