Benefit Concert in Support of the Gay & Lesbian Community Center of Southern Nevada

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

"A Tribute to the Great White Way" to be the First in a Series of Annual Events

LAS VEGAS – August 15, 2007 – Las Vegas resident John Eisele is pleased to announce the inaugural benefit concert for the Gay & Lesbian Community Center of Southern Nevada. "A Tribute to the Great White Way" will be held at the Onyx Theatre on Friday, August 24 at 8:00 p.m. and will mark the first in a series of annual concerts to help fund the valuable resources and services offered by The Center.

A veteran of stage himself, John will be joining a list of local talent to include Vita Corimbi and Skye Dee Miles from "Menopause the Musical", Larry Atello from "Tony and Tina's Wedding", Sheila Wright (Las Vegas' premiere karaoke host), Miss Kitty and Miss Frankie, The Sin City Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and Ruda Lenska.

Performances will include show-stopping interludes from such famed productions as Cabaret, Chess, La Cage Aux Folles, Dreamgirls, Chicago, Follies, A Chorus Line, Jeckyll and Hyde, Mame and a host of others.

"I've been so fortunate to be a part of such an amazing, community-wide giving spirit in the five years since Las Vegas has been my home," said John Eisele. "It's truly an honor to continue that tradition with this benefit concert for The Center."

Conceived, produced and hosted by John, "A Tribute to the Great White Way" will donate all proceeds to the Gay & Lesbian Community Center of Southern Nevada. The Center is a non-profit organization that provides a safe and healthy environment for the local lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community, and provides important resources and services such as meetings, outings, referrals, programs, Hepatitis A & B immunizations and HIV prevention, testing and counseling.

In an effort to bring even more support to this worthy cause, John approached juhl's development company, CityMark Development, for which he manages sales operations, to extend their support to the evening. As such, on the evening of the event, John will proudly present a multi-thousand dollar platinum donation to The Center Board of Directors.

Tickets for "A Tribute to the Great White Way" are on sale now and can be purchased by calling The Center at 702-733-9800 or visiting their office at 953 East Sahara Avenue, Suite B1. Tickets are limited, so everyone is encouraged to reserve early.

The concert space has been donated by the Onyx Theatre, located in Commercial Center and with entrance ability through The Rack. Additionally, Spotlight Lounge will be sponsoring a post-concert party for all ticket holders.

"I urge the Las Vegas community to support this event and treat themselves to a memorable evening of music and fun," said John. "It's going to be a very memorable night."
