About this episode
Talk to anyone in the Broadway community about giving back and you’re bound to hear them sing the praises of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. With popular programs like Broadway Bares, Broadway Barks, the Easter Bonnet Competition, and those ubiquitous red buckets, BC/EFA has raised over $300 million for essential services for people with HIV/AIDS and other critical illnesses in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and Washington DC. Join BC/EFA Executive Director Tom Viola, Director of Development Danny Whitman, and Board of Trustee member (and Tony Award winner!) Gavin Creel for a lively discussion about all the good BC/EFA does within the Broadway community and beyond.
