The Theatre Leadership Project
“It is our belief that by focusing on one of the most marginalized groups of people, we will ultimately create space for professionals of all races and ethnicities. For this current pilot program, we will focus on Black applicants due to the extremity to which they are excluded.” – TTLP
Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS COVID-19 Emergency Assistance Fund
“When theaters across the country shut down in March due to the coronavirus crisis, theater fans who had previously purchased tickets to Broadway and national touring shows suddenly had their plans canceled. As a result, Broadway Across America gave purchasers the option to donate the value of their unused tickets to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. Thanks to their generosity, the 极乐视频 added to their customers鈥 goodwill this week, bringing the total donation to BC/EFA to $1 million.” – Broadway.com
