Easter Bonnet Competition

Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS presents the 18th Annual Easter Bonnet Competition, the two-day Broadway spectacular which features the companies of more than 20 Broadway, Off-Broadway and touring productions singing, dancing and donning specially created Easter bonnets. This competition is a culmination of six intensive weeks of fundraising efforts by Broadway and Off-Broadway members as well as numerous productions currently on national tour. Curtain speeches, autographed poster and program sales, auctions, and cabaret performances bring in hundred of thousands of dollars from audiences prior to the competition. The winner of the competition is 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.
