James Barbour, Carol Hall, Anthony Newfield, Catherine Russell, Charles West, The Broadway Blessing Choir (under the direction of Bruce Neswick), and Project Dance will be among the performers for the 14th annual Broadway Blessing, to be held at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, on Monday, September 13 at 7pm.

Founded and guest produced by author and theater critic Retta Blaney, Broadway Blessing was conceived as an interfaith service of song, dance and story designed to seek God’s grace on the new theater season.

The Very Rev. Dr. James A. Kowalski, Dean and The Rev. Thomas Miller, Canon for Liturgy & Art from the Cathedral will be joined by Rabbi Jill Hausman of The Actors’ Temple as officiants in the 75 minute program.

This year’s event is dedicated to Lynn Redgrave (1943 – 2010). The evening will also celebrate the 50th anniversary of two American classics: The Fantasticks and To Kill A Mockingbird.

Broadway Blessing is free and open to people of all ages. For more information, visit www.stjohndivine.org.
