Just wanted to share this wonderful project

Till We Reach That Day

The Broadway and beyond community is still active and activist. This is a magnificent project that features some wonderful artists that are for change, for humanity - in the world, and in the business.

Artists Against Brutality Project is a new organization recently born in response to the current events unfolding in the United States. Co-Founder Collin L. Howard said, "As a collective made of theatre artists standing in solidarity against systemic abuse of power, it is my hope that we send a message of defiance, camaraderie and inspiration to a fractured and grieving nation."

In response to the violence against black men, women, and children, co-founders Howard and actor Seth Diggs assembled a team of Broadway actors to perform the anthem "Till We Reach That Day" from the musical Ragtime (music by Stephen Flaherty, lyrics by Lynn Ahrens). A video of "Make Them Hear You" is being released on Friday, June 19th, 2020 to commemorate Juneteenth. Musical direction and orchestrations are by Michael Morris (Make Me A Song), technical direction is by two-time New England Emmy® Award winner Erik Bloomquist, and the sound engineer/mixer is David Hoffman.

oining performers Tamar Greene (Hamilton), Mia Gentile (Kinky Boots) and Jessica Vosk(Wicked, Becoming Nancy) are Miguel AngelDavid Bazemore (Jane Austen's Emma), Todd Berkich (Ragtime), Jewelle Blackman (Hadestown), Ellen CondonErin Crosby (Shout!), Seth Diggs, Pat Dunn (Waitress, The Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables), Erin Elizabeth Eichhorn, (Rags, LIFT), Keisha Gilles (Aladdin), Yvette Gonzalez Nacer (Hadestown, Grease: Live), Amy Halldin (Hello Again), Collin L.

Artists define the world and the times we live in. Artists change the world. Singing is NOT cancelled. Artistry is NOT cancelled.

We are finding ways to breathe, and join together to stand for TRUTH.

We are shifting the paradigm. Get ready!

with fondness & fierceness,

Susan
