Broadway Bares 21: Masterpiece: Record-Setting Fun

Congratulations to producer/creator Jerry Mitchell, director Josh Rhodes and everyone involved onstage and behind the scenes at Broadway Bares XXI: MasterpieceAfter pre-show fundraising, dozens of strip-a-thon pledge drives, and two sexy, action-packed performances, this artful event raised a record-setting $1,103,072 for the benefit of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.  The event which combined burlesque, striptease and the world of fine painting and sculpture, beat last year's record by over $87K!
