As the school year comes to an end, our youth are finding themselves in a perilous situation: their summer education and work plans have been put on hold, they are dealing with the losses of teachers, family, and friends to COVID-19, and all while navigating becoming young adults amidst rising racial tensions. Whether it is to express their pain and anger, to process and heal their wounds as a community, or to escape their trauma, our youth need access to arts education programming now more than ever.

Broadway's Babies is a non-profit organization with a mission to provide arts education, building a bridge between the Broadway community and underserved youth to open the doors through which tomorrow's leaders can emerge. Since 2016, Broadway's Babies has been working with underserved youth in New York City, India, and Haiti, providing more than 700 young people with tens of thousands of hours of arts programming.

Viewing of this concert is free, but donations are welcome in support of summer intensive and future Broadway's Babies arts programming.
