On Sunday, March 21, Broadway Speaks OUT will present a benefit
concert entitled The Other Side of Broadway at Space on White to raise
funds and awareness for LGBT issues. Among the Broadway stars who will
be performing songs from their own albums will be Meredith Patterson,
Shonn Wiley, and The Joe Iconis Family.
Broadway Speaks OUT was formed by Marti Gould Cummings and his partner
Anthony Hollock in Fall 2008 after Proposition 8 took place in
California, denying thousands of couples the right to marry.
The two started a talk show online by interviewing friends of theirs
who have appeared on Broadway. This grew into a very successful
endeavor, leading to a hit concert series which benefits LGBT
organizations in NYC.
Broadway Speaks OUT! has attended The Tony Awards, The Drama Desk
Awards, and the Logos NewNowNext Awards, and has had the opportunity
to interview the likes of Liza Minnelli, Bette Midler, Audra McDonald,
Gavin Creel, Rosie ODonnell, and countless others about how their
careers are helping to pave the way for LGBT Equality.
In addition to this red carpet coverage, BSO! has a weekly live show
hosted by Marti, Anthony, and David Singletary. This show brings in
thousands of viewers every Tuesday night at 10pm. The topics discussed
cover a wide variety of hot topics relating to the mission of BSO!
The Broadway Speaks OUT! Concert series has benefited organizations
such as Broadway Impact and The Ali Forney Center for Homeless LGBT
Youth. Each concert features a wide variety of TV Stars and Broadway
entertainers. Each performer brings their uniqueness to the stage by
performing songs or giving inspirational speeches about why equality
is important for all people. BSO has raised thousands of dollars to
help the fight for Equality in NYC, they are now taking the show on
the road and will be hosting benefits in LA, Chicago, & London in
2010.
BSO is a resident artist at Space on White studio. Space on White is
an artistic facility designed to aid emerging and accomplished artists
in a range of fields including music, theater, dance, yoga, and the
