The performance will be held Friday, October 5, 2007, at 7 pm at the Sondra and David S. Mack Student Center.

This performance raises much-needed funds for scholarships at Hofstra. Join the happy couple as they tie the knot. Then on to the reception, featuring dinner and dancing. It's a fun time for everyone. At Tony n' Tina's Wedding, you're not just a member of the audience - you're part of the family!

Tony n' Tina's Wedding was originally produced in New York City by Joe Corcoran '82 and Dan Corcoran. After working on Wall Street in a number of capacities, Joe Corcoran joined a number of fellow Hofstra alumni to become part of what would be Tony n' Tina's Wedding. Liz Smith called the show, which was conceived on the Hofstra campus, "one of the most imaginative and successful hits in off-Broadway history."

The $125 ticket price includes performance, dinner reception and dancing. All contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. For more information, to purchase tickets or make a contribution please visit www.hofstra.edu/weddingregistry or call (516) 463-6636.
