Gulla says, "I'm a Native New Yorker! It's been devastating to see what the pandemic has wrought upon my beloved city, specifically Broadway and Off-Broadway! I am honored and thrilled to have this opportunity. It's honest! It's 'back to basics'! It'll help start the proverbial 'ball' rolling again! How wonderful to be part of an event bringing culture... theater!... back to Times Square!"

"I'll be performing a section from my play, The Bronx Queen. As I often say, 'I'm a simple, Bronx-born, gay guy... with a dream!" When I wrote this thing, I could never have imagined I would one day be performing it on the Red Steps of Times Square! That'll make for a pretty damn spectacular Tuesday!"

"It Starts With A Word: Dramatists in Times Square" will take place on the Red Steps in Times Square on Tuesday, March 23rd from 3 pm to 7 pm. Joe Gulla performs at the top of the 6 pm hour.
