On December 9 and 10, the company was honored to join the roster of Red Bucket Follies, representing Dancers Responding to AIDS (DRA) and taking place at Broadway’s New Amsterdam Theatre. Initiated by our friends at Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, the show is named for the iconic red buckets that, for six weeks, volunteers hold in Broadway theater lobbies to collect audiences’ post-performance contributions. For our part in this fantastic display of songs, skits and dances, we staged the last section of David’s Whirlaway, his beloved New Orleans tribute created to an Allen Toussaint soundtrack. Thanks to our dear friends at DRA for including us in these magical and moving afternoons!
Congratulations to the Broadway, Off Broadway and touring productions that raised an astounding $5,320,146 for Broadway Cares and their essential life-saving programs.
