Honoring Women on Broadway!

Sunday March 8 is International Women’s Day, and next week, in celebration, Disney On Broadway will present their third annual ‘Women’s Day on Broadway: The Decade Ahead and How Women Will Shape It.”

Following their successful launch in 2018, this year the free event serves to create an open dialogue about gender equality in the theatre industry. There will be a series of panels, conversations and dialogue. Broadway stars and women behind the scenes in the theatre industry will participate. Celia Keenan-Bolger and Mandy Gonzalez will co-host the event.

Disney’s Women’s Day on Broadway is happening Tuesday, March 10 from 1-4 PM at the New Amsterdam Theatre on West 42 Street (home of Disney’s Aladdin.)
