Every month, Playbill presents a concert straight from our office in Times Square. The Playbill Songwriter Series is a celebration of diversity, as emerging composers perform songs from their catalogue. Singing alongside them are some of New York’s most talented vocalists, including some Broadway alums, lending their voices to these up-and-coming artists’ works. These artists, spanning a variety of racial and ethnic backgrounds and gender identities, perform at the Playbill Sing for Hope Piano, which is adorned with legendary Playbills from the past and present of Broadway.
