In addition to performances from Broadway favorites, the event will feature the teenage winners of the NYCLU’s Freedom of Expression contest, which invites New York City public schools students to speak their minds on important civil liberties issues in their lives.
Proceeds from the show benefit the NYCLU, one of the nation’s foremost defenders of civil liberties and civil rights.
