This Mother's Day, give mom a gift she will always remember: an evening with 11 of the most delectable male dancers from Broadway Bares. Bring your mom to this Sunday's Broadway Bares: Solo Strips and she will get in free with your paid admission at the door for the evening of sexy, choreographed stripteases benefiting Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

Broadway Bares: Solo Strips (#bwaybares) will heat up Mother's Day with one show only at 9 pm on Sunday, May 11, at BPM Nightclub (516 West 42nd Street, NYC). Doors open at 8 pm.

Broadway Bares: Solo Strips will be directed by Tony Spinosa (La Cage aux Folles).

Broadway Bares began in 1992 when Jerry Mitchell, then a performer in The Will Rogers Follies, organized a benefit burlesque show featuring himself and six friends performing original strips at a bar for a $10 donation plus whatever tips the audience gave the dancers. Mitchell, now a Tony Award-winning director and choreographer, is executive producer of Broadway Bares, which is produced by and benefits Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

Broadway Bares: Solo Strips is a sexy tease for Broadway Bares, one of BC/EFA's annual signature events. Broadway Bares: Rock Hard! will feature 150 of New York's most desirable dancers. The show will be directed by Nick Kenkel (Catch Me If You Can, Peepshow, Legally Blonde), who also directed Broadway Bares 23.

Broadway Bares: Rock Hard! will be held Sunday, June 22 with two performances only at 9:30 PM & Midnight at Hammerstein Ballroom, located in the Manhattan Center (311 West 34th Street). Tickets can be purchased online at broadwaycares.org or by calling 212.840.0770, ext 268. For more information and merchandise, visit broadwaybares.com.

The presenting sponsor of Broadway Bares is M•A•C VIVA Glam, with generous support from BC/EFA corporate partner United Airlines.

Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS is one of the nation's leading industry-based, nonprofit AIDS fundraising and grant-making organizations. By drawing upon the talents, resources and generosity of the American theatre community, since 1988 BC/EFA has raised more than $250 million for essential services for people with AIDS and other critical illnesses across the United States.

Broadway Cares awards annual grants to more than 450 AIDS and family service organizations nationwide and is the major supporter of the social service programs at The Actors Fund, including the HIV/AIDS Initiative, the Phyllis Newman Women's Health Initiative and the Al Hirschfeld Free Health Clinic.
