Broadway stars emphasize ‘now is the time’ for all to act philanthropically at Town & Country summit
Some of Broadway’s biggest stars emphasized that everyone can donate something of their time, talent or treasure at Town & Country’s annual Philanthropy Summit on Tuesday. Brian Stokes Mitchell, John Leguizamo, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Jonathan Groff and Celia Keenan-Bolger were all on hand, with Mitchell saying philanthropy, like theater, is “about people working together to make something impossible happen.” Town & Country cast the stakes in stark terms as year-end “giving season” approaches. Between the Trump administration’s federal grant cuts and reports that fewer households are giving charitably, the staff wrote that the onus “is on an ever shrinking number of us.”
