Yesterday was National Coming Out Day, and the producers of BARE hosted an event at The Snapple Theater Center (210 West 50th Street, 3rd floor), which featured a vast array of speakers, including former NHL star Sean Avery on behalf of Athlete Ally; activist Fiona Dawson on behalf of HRC; Executive Director Brent Childers & LGBT and women’s rights advocate Roberta Sklar on behalf of Faith in America and James Clementi & Executive Director Steven Guy on behalf of the Tyler Clementi Foundation, as well as BARE director Stafford Arima and choreographer Travis Wall.
They shared their personal experiences, spoke about their individual organizations and their collaboration with BARE, and together shared the message of equality for all.
BroadwayWorld's Richard Ridge was there to chat with the whole gang and you can check out what they had to say about the special day below. Also, catch a special performance of 'Role of a Lifetime' by Jason Hite, who plays 'Jason' in the show!
