BC/EFA Will Hold Its Annual Easter Bonnet Competition In Late April
Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS will be presenting the 22nd Annual Easter Bonnet Competition on April 28th and 29th at the Minskoff Theatre.
The Easter Bonnet Competition will feature the companies of more than 20 Broadway, off-Broadway and touring productions singing, dancing, and donning original Easter bonnets.
The culmination of six intensive weeks of fundraising efforts by Broadway and off-Broadway company members, the Easter Bonnet Competition, as well as numerous productions currently on national tour, has become an annual Broadway tradition. Curtain speeches, autographed poster and program sales, auctions, and cabaret performances bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars from audiences prior to the competition. The winner of the competition will be the company that raises the largest amount of money for BC/EFA. (A second award is granted to the company with the best bonnet design and presentation.) Awards are also presented to the Broadway Play, National Tour and Off-Broadway production raising the most money for BC/EFA.
