"Broadway Impact continues to expand in our fight for equality due to the incredible support from our theatre community and its fans. We are excited to be able to rally our ‘troops' to help out another great cause. We all believe in looking out for one another, and this team wants to send a clear message to all those out there who are suffering, saying: "We love you, and we're here." -Gavin Creel
