Rare & Signed Theater Book Auction (Wingtastic Book Fair)

The online book auction, benefiting nonprofit Wait in the Wings, opens February 21 with an array of exclusive items from some of Broadway’s most celebrated creators and storytellers.

Among the highlights are a signed and sketched first edition, first printing of Wicked from author Gregory Maguire’s personal collection, as well as signed books from Marc Shaiman (Hairspray, Smash), Charles Strouse (Annie), Wiley Hausam (agent of Jonathan Larson), Michael Riedel (New York Post), Gretchen Dykstra (founding president of the Times Square Alliance), Paul Gemignani (Pacific Overtures, Sweeney Todd), Playbill's Margaret Hall, and the puppeteers from the current Off-Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors (Jonothon Lyons, Teddy Yudain, Noel MacNeal, Weston Chandler Long).

Supporters will also have the opportunity to purchase vintage theatre books, as well as books used in the research and development of Wait in the Wings' various YouTube theatrical documentaries.

All proceeds from the Wingstastic Book Fair support Wait in the Wings' mission to preserve Broadway’s untold stories through free theater documentaries.
