To commemorate World AIDS Day, Playbill presents Storytellers thanks to premier sponsor Gilead Sciences and sponsored in part by the Michelangelo Hotel. The series benefits Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
This video series recognizes World AIDS Day and honors those affected by and/or living with HIV and AIDS through storytelling and song. Each of these stories are unique and honest in ways that most people don’t even think about, and that is what makes them so impactful. To show your support with Broadway Cares, we invite you to help give back to this worthy cause by going to broadwaycares.org/storytellers.
A live event honoring Broadway Cares Executive Director Tom Viola took place on Monday, November 25 at the Michelangelo Hotel in New York. From December 3 through December 6, Playbill will showcase each Storyteller on Playbill.com. #PlaybillStorytellers
2024 Storytellers Participants include:
