The vibrant spirit of Broadway and the power of community will take center stage on Thursday, February 12, at 6:00 p.m., when Berks Broadway Cares hosts an evening of entertainment and generosity at Adler Brewing Company, 2210 Hampden Blvd., Reading. A snow date is scheduled for Friday, February 13.
Presented by Marabella Enterprises in partnership with the Reading Berks Theatre community, Berks Broadway Cares is a fundraiser benefiting Reading Pride Celebration and the LGBT Center of Greater Reading, two organizations dedicated to uplifting, supporting, and celebrating the LGBTQ+ community across Berks County.
The event will feature performances by talented local theatre artists, showcasing the creativity and passion of the region’s performing arts community. Proceeds from ticket sales will directly support inclusive programming, community services, and advocacy efforts that make Berks County a safer and more welcoming place for LGBTQ+ individuals and families.
“Berks Broadway Cares is a powerful example of what happens when the arts and community come together for a shared purpose. This event not only celebrates Broadway and local talent, but also raises critical funds for organizations that serve and affirm our LGBTQ+ neighbors every day” said organizers in a press release.
Tickets are $20 and include a drink, light appetizers, and the show. Attendance is open to the public, and community members are encouraged to come out, enjoy an evening of entertainment, and support two vital local nonprofits. (Tickets are available here)
Sponsors and participating organizations include Genesius Theatre, Greater Reading Alliance of Community Theatres, Patricia L. Perfect, Reading Civic Theatre, Reading Community Players, and Yocum Institute for Art Education, whose generous support helps make the event possible.
