MARY BETH EVANS AND STEPHEN NICHOLS 

TO HOST BENEFIT PERFORMANCE & RECEPTION

Stars of NBC’s Days of our Lives to perform in staged reading to benefit One World Stage & Screen, a charity focused on helping at-risk youth

What: On Sunday, Nov. 13, Mary Beth Evans and Stephen Nichols, who have portrayed the iconic Patch & Kayla on NBC’s Days of our Lives for more than 30 years, will take the stage for a staged reading of Annapurna, by Sharr White. In this benefit performance, Evans and Nichols will portray former lovers who come together, in a trailer park in the middle of nowhere, for a final reckoning – two people, one room and a breathtaking story about the longevity of love.

Proceeds from the benefit will go to One World Stage & Screen, a nonprofit that provides high quality training to young actors who lack the financial resources necessary to cultivate their craft. The organization specializes in youth ages 11 – 21, with special outreach to foster and LGBT communities.

Following the 60-minute performance, the two daytime TV stars will host a dessert and cocktail reception, where they will mix and mingle with attendees. In addition to this unique, one night only performance, the evening will also include a raffle and red carpet photo opportunities.
