Proceeds raised will benefit True Colors United, an American nonprofit organization addressing the issue of youth homelessness in the United States. Founded by Cyndi Lauper the organization focuses on the unique experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth, who make up 40% of the homeless youth population in America.,
Stay True's Founding Artistic Director Andrew Victor Myers states, "Everyone at Stay True is aware of how hard the last ten months have been on our country and of the devastation caused to the arts community and its members. To be able to put together a heartfelt production and spread some holiday cheer when holiday entertainment in New York City is pretty non-existent has been a joy. I am so over the moon proud of everyone involved in this production."
