Dear Friends,
We would like to first wish you all a happy, healthy, and prosperous holiday season and New Year.
Secondly, for those of you who were able to attend the reading/benefit of Zhivago this past December 15th, we're sure we're all in agreement that Zhivago is a special and exciting project. Based on the responses from this latest reading, we have already been offered more than one Broadway theater. But when, and where that will happen will be determined by the fate of currently running shows. Just like London, shows are running longer than anytime in history, thus making theater availability (or at least the ones which will be best for Zhivago) tighter than ever. For this reason, and at the request of the top London theater owners and producers, we will be performing the show again in London January 12th. If all goes as well as expected, we could very possibly have a second option. Our target date based on our schedule, and the directors availability, is fall 2007. For those of you who happen to be in London on January 12th, and would like to attend, please contact us and we will make the arrangements. For all others, we will follow-up with you when we return, and let you know how it went.
Lastly, we would like to do one last follow-up in regard to the Passin-Waxman Center for orphaned children, founded by our co-producer Anita Waxman. Having now met several of the parents and children whose lives have been changed by this wonderful organization (to include Anita and her son Yuri) we are asking if you could find it in your hearts to make even a small contribution. Enclosed please find a link to the page which will give each of you the opportunity to participate. Or to make a donation by check, please send payable to:
Noah's Ark Foundation
c/o 1776 Broadway, Suite 1400

The Importance of Your Support
About the Passin-Waxman Center
The Passin-Waxman Center, located in the center of Moscow, has been conceived by its principal founders Anita Waxman and Pinchas Goldschmidt, chief Rabbi of Moscow, to answer the need for a home that welcomes orphaned children from Jewish and other ethnic backgrounds. At the Center, the children are nurtured, educated, and ultimately given dreams for their future.
Over the past eight years the Center has seen well over 100 children enter the home illiterate, lonely and socially isolated. Thriving under the Center’s care, the children have grown to maturity, many graduating from college, marrying and living happy, productive lives. More than 50 young children live in the Center today.
