Team Frasier Reunites to Save the Plaza Theater

Cast Members and Creative Team of “Frasier” Unite to Support Palm Springs’ Historic Plaza Theatre

Acclaimed television producers David Lee and Peter Casey and celebrated actors David Hyde Pierce and Peri Gilpin will participate in a special fundraising event called Team Frasier Reunites to Save the Plaza Theater. The cast and creative team of the well-loved television show “Frasier” will take the stage at the historic theater for a fun look back at the making of the pilot episode of the highly acclaimed and long-running television series on Saturday, March 19 at 1 PM. Tickets are $125. Following the event, there will be a VIP “Meet the Creators” catered champagne reception from 3-4 pm. The reception is a separate ticketed event priced at $50.

The event is a fundraiser in support of the restoration of the Plaza Theatre, originally opened in 1936 and currently in need of refurbishment. David Lee, Frasier’s Executive Producer and co-creator, recently pledged $5 million for the restoration of the theater. A board of directors of movers and shakers has taken this effort to heart and is reaching out to preservationists, theatre aficionados, and civic-minded individuals and organizations in search of financial support to raise the rest of the $10 million required for the restoration.

“We are absolutely thrilled that David and the others connected to the show have offered this exciting event,” said Palm Springs Plaza Theatre Foundation president J.R. Roberts. “David’s donation jump started the theatre’s fundraising campaign, and he has now graciously offered this special look back at a show we all loved. We also thank the cast and production crew for also lending their support to this important project.”

About the Event

Lee will lead the audience through a compelling special insider’s step-by-step retrospective about the making of the pilot of Frasier, which ran on NBC for eleven seasons, from 1993 to 2004. The 264 episodes of the series are still aired worldwide today. Following this, cast members David Hyde Pierce (Niles) and Peri Gilpin (Roz) and Co-Creator Peter Casey will join Lee in answering questions from the audience. The event will run approximately 2 hours.
