Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS (BC/EFA) will present the 25th annual Easter Bonnet Competition on Monday, April 25 at 4:30pm and Tuesday, April 26 at 2pm at the Minskoff Theatre. The proceeds from the event will benefit BC/EFA.

The Easter Bonnet Competition is a two-day spectacular that features the companies of more than 20 Broadway, Off-Broadway and touring productions singing, dancing and donning original and stunningly creative, celebratory and outrageous Easter bonnets.

The event is the culmination of six weeks of fundraising efforts, such as curtain speeches, bucket collections, and autographed program and poster sales, by company members of the participating productions. The winner of the Easter Bonnet Competition will be the company that raises the largest amount of money for BC/EFA. A second award is granted to the company with the best bonnet design and presentation. Awards are also presented to the Broadway Play, National Tour and Off-Broadway production raising the most money for BC/EFA.

Hosts, judges and special guests for the Easter Bonnet Competition will be announced in the coming weeks.
