“Broadway Barks Across America” Streaming Sunday, May 23rd
Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend but during the pandemic and more than a year of social distancing fur babies have been our best friend, cuddle bud, and ultimate anti-depressant. For many of us, our four-legged family members are ones we rescue from shelters who end up rescuing us in ways we never expected.
For 22 years, BroadwayCares/Equity Fight AIDS has championed animal rescue with “Broadway Barks.”

With one look, I play every part
I can make your sad heart sing
With one look you’ll know, all you need to know”
