DO MORE: NEW PLAYS
APRIL 29 – MAY 1 at THE CONNELLY THEATER, NEW YORK CITY
Curated by Associate Artistic Director Zachary Elkind, DO MORE: NEW PLAYS features five new plays that interrogate and explode the idea of a “classic” itself and will run April 29 – May 1, at The Connelly Theater. This series will support the Broadway Advocacy Coalition (BAC), a Tony Award-winning organization building the capacity of individuals, organizations, and communities to dismantle the systems that perpetuate racism through the power of storytelling and the leadership of people directly affected.

Founded in 2016 by members of the Broadway community as a direct response to the nation’s pandemic of racism and police brutality, Broadway Advocacy Coalition (BAC) has since grown into a Tony Award-winning organization uniting artists with legal experts and community leaders to have a lasting impact on policy issues including criminal justice reform, education equity, and liberation within the theatrical industry.
