Garry Marshall Theatre & Bob Boyett Present

Garry Marshall Theatre Annual Fundraiser

Celebrating 50 years of
LAVERNE & SHIRLEY

Honoring Yeardley Smith
With Special Guest Michael McKean
Co-Hosted by Lola & John Debney

Be part of a very special event as we continue to grow the legacy of Garry Marshall and the nonprofit Garry Marshall Theatre. This year on November 13, Garry Marshall’s birthday anniversary, the nonprofit and Bob Boyett are proud to present the annual fundraiser. It is sure to be a thrilling night, celebrating 50 years of the iconic television show Laverne & Shirley.

It is with great joy to have Bob Boyett joining us, prolific Broadway producer and the original producer of Laverne & Shirley, Full House, Step by Step, Perfect Strangers and more.

Co-hosted by Lola & John Debney, the event will be held at VERSE, a stunning modern-day supper club known for its exceptional sound, libation, and showcasing Chef Oscar’s creations that would rival Mr. DeFazio’s restaurant ‘The Pizza Bowl’.

GMT’s Board of Directors, the Marshall Family, and Producing Artistic Director Joseph Leo Bwarie, will honor Yeardley Smith, for her continued support of GMT’s Youth Education Program. Known globally for her expansive acting career, including her signature voicing of ‘Lisa Simpson’ for over 35 years. Smith graced the original Falcon Theatre stage with her one woman show More in 2005.

And as ‘Lenny’ and ‘Squiggy’ would famously say, “Hello!” to our very special guest Michael McKean. The actor, writer and musician, is revered for his comedic and dramatic performances in This Is Spinal Tap, Best In Show, Better Call Saul and his breakout role as ‘Lenny’ in Laverne & Shirley.

Live band and musical performances to be announced.
