The New York Civil Liberties Union is proud to present the 10th Annual Broadway Stands Up for Freedom benefit concert.<\/p>\n

The event will open with Honorary Chair and Tony Award- and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tony Kushner. The hilarious Seth Rudetsky will host and musical direct, and the show will directed by Daniel Goldstein, director of the recent Broadway revival of Godspell.<\/p>\n

Dozens of Broadway\u2019s finest will perform including 2012 Tony-nominee Celia Keenan-Bolger (Peter & the Starcatcher), Steve Pasquale (Rescue Me), Nikki Ren\u00e9e Daniels (Porgy & Bess, Aida), Julie Halston (Anything Goes), Julia Murney (Wicked) Darius de Haas ( Rent, Marie Christine), The Broadway Boys, Ripley Sobo (Once), founding performer Liana Stampur with Clinton Curtis, and more still more to come.<\/p>\n

Proceeds from the show benefit the NYCLU\u2019s youth programs, including its work with LGBT teenagers; its Teen Activist Project, which engages New York City teens as organizers and peer educators on civil rights and civil liberties issues; and its work to stop overly aggressive policing and zero-tolerance discipline in the city\u2019s public schools.<\/p>\n

VIP tickets and sponsorship packages, now on sale for $250 and up, can be purchased here. Individual tickets, $100\/$60 should be purchased through the Skirball Box Office.<\/p>\n
