Broadway Climate Summit
You are invited to the inaugural Broadway Climate Summit, a one-day summit in NYC, bringing together theater professionals and climate advocates to reimagine an industry that prioritizes sustainability, climate storytelling, and theater as a cultural movement for our planet.
We're building a coalition of people in Broadway and the theater industry at large who are thinking at these intersections. Beyond this launch, we're looking for collaborators, friends, and people who want to be part of this wider movement. We'd love to meet you.
Proudly sponsored by Climate Power.
Doors open at 10:30am. Programming starts at 11am. Lunch is provided with purchase of a daytime pass. Event concludes at 5pm.
