BAfW 2021
Hosted by Martha Plimpton, A is For Co-founder, BAfW 2021 starred an astounding array of Broadway talent — Ariana DeBose, Eden Espinosa, BD Wong, Jessica Vosk — taking song requests from the highest bidders in the audience! Plus a very special appearance by Broadway’s longest-running Phantom, Howard McGillin, in honor of Broadway Acts for Women alum, Rebecca Luker.
All proceeds benefited A is For, to support the work we’ve been doing to create art devoted to ending the stigma against abortion. This includes our ONE ACT Play Festival and our comic book series.
