Enjoy a full evening of Halloween festivities as the doors -and bar- open at 8pm!

Crowd favorite writer, music producer, and DJ Ari Grooves will be in the booth creating an atmospheric soundscape and elevated vibe with a banger for every partygoer. Ari is guaranteed to get things jumpin' and usher guests through the evening of non-stop celebration complete with a multi-category costume contest awarding various winners with cash prizes for their commitment, creep-factor and creativity! Guests won't want to miss the chance to win tickets to American Utopia, Slave Play, The Lion King, Fairycakes, and more of their favorite shows being raffled through the night! The event will also take a moment to honor and toast a cherished member (to be announced next week) of the Broadway community.

Co-Producer BROADWAY BLACK is a one-of-a-kind multi-media platform which is dedicated to highlighting the achievements and successes of Black theatre artists on and off the Broadway stage. Founded in 2012, BROADWAY BLACK fosters and inspires artistic diversity and excellence in theatre and has solidified itself as the go-to media source for Black theatre. BFRJ joins BROADWAY BLACK to recreate the magic of such events as their Revival Concert series that invited Black vocalists and musicians back into the studio for music making in the midst of the pandemic providing over $25,000 of direct funds into the hands of Black performing artists across the country.

The Reckoning is the flagship collaboration by BFRJ x BWYBLK as co-producers with the shared mission of elivating and amplifying the excellence of the diverse and vibrant theatre community.
