The Broadway Green Alliance has some wonderful events planned for Earth Week. First up, the organization will join the Earth Day Initiative and March for Science NYC for their Earth Day 50 Virtual Kick-Off on April 19 from 3:30PM to 10PM ET. Members of the Broadway community will join the special livestream virtually, sharing songs and messages of activism. Then on Earth Day, (April 22), the Broadway Green Alliance is supporting Broadway’s youngest performers and their siblings in joining Earth Day Live, led by the Youth Strike Coalition.

“Due to the coronavirus pandemic, we cannot show up in person, but we can digitally call for transformative action and healing for our planet,” said Broadway Green Alliance Director Molly Braverman. “The theater community’s messages of hope and community are needed more than ever as we face two concurrent crises.”
