Mary Tyler Moore and Bernadette Peters will once again host Broadway Barks!, the star-studded dog and cat adopt-a-thon benefiting New York City animal shelters and adoption agencies. The seventh-annual event, which is being produced by Broadway Care/Equity Fights AIDS, will take place on Saturday, July 30 from 3:30 to 6:30pm in Shubert Alley. (In the event of rain, it will be rescheduled for Sunday, July 31 at noon.)

In addition to Moore and Peters, such stars as Victoria Clark, Billy Crudup, Erin Dilly, Mireille Enos, Harvey Fierstein, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Joanna Gleason, Jeff Goldblum, Danny Glover, David Harbour, Shuler Hensley, Gregory Jbara, Cheyenne Jackson, Alix Korey, Marc Kudisch, Andrea Martin, Marsha Mason, Jan Maxwell, Rue McClanahan, Maureen McGovern, Denis O’Hare, Brad Oscar, David Hyde Pierce, Christopher Sieber, Frances Sternhagen, and Jeffrey Tambor are set to participate in the event.

Broadway Barks will feature a sampling of potential pets from several New York City animal shelters and adoption agencies; representatives from these organizations will be on hand to offer educational information on spaying and neutering. There will also be an auction of celebrity-autographed memorabilia, and additional auction merchandise will be sold on eBay.
