Tony nominees Joshua Henry, Kate Baldwin, and Brandon Victor Dixon—plus more theatre stars, including Jay Armstrong Johnson, Anthony Nunziata and Vinny Pastore’s Gangster Squad—will perform live, in-person concerts at Open Jar Studios as part of the Broadway Relief Benefit to raise money for a variety of industry-related charities.The inaugural, socially distanced concert, with Joshua Henry, is on August 21 at 8 PM ET. The charities benefiting from the performances include The Broadway Advocacy Coalition, The Actors Fund, City Harvest, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, The WeAre Foundation, and The Nick Cordero Fund.
The venue space inside Open Jar has been transformed to include an isolated stage with a 20-foot gap between the artist and the audience in addition to plexiglass panels between seats. By recommendation of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the City of New York, the space will be ventilated with outside air for two hours prior to the event, and enhanced cleaning and disinfection will take place between each performance of all equipment and facilities.
All attendees will be required to wear masks, submit a health questionnaire, and undergo temperature checks at the door during a no-contact check in process.
