COMEDY FOR A CURE a night of laughs to benefit muscular dystrophy research

You are cordially invited to a very special benefit performance of the smash hit comedy PEACHTREE BATTLE on Friday, September 6,
2013. 


This one-night only performance will benefit the FSH
Society
and their patient support work and direct funding of ground breaking research to find a cure for Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSH or
FSHD).

FSHD is a genetic, progressive muscle atrophy disease with no cure or treatment options.  A member of our theater family, Box Office Manager Kevin Kirby, was diagnosed with FSHD 13 years ago.  Kevin’s incredibly positive outlook & up-beat personality while living with the debilitating effects of this rare neuromuscular disease is inspiring.

their single focused mission of finding a cure for FSHD.
