What has Broadway stars speaking up? Along with Nobel Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Allison Janney (9 to 5: The Musical), Gary Beach (The Producers), Lazar (A Little Night Music), Dulé Hill (Bring in ‘da Noise, Bring in ‘da Funk), and Bobby Steggert (upcoming Ragtime) have all come together to answer one common question - What does it mean to YOU to be a good, global citizen?

The little question garnering a whole lot of buzz is posed in ProjectExplorer.org's Good Global Citizen project (http://goodglobalcitizen.ning.com/), where celebs, leaders, artists, and the public can make their voices heard. Via ProjectExplorer.org's Good Global Citizen series website, people around the world are invited to participate in this global dialogue by contributing video commentary.

ProjectExplorer.org's Founder, Jenny M Buccos, notes, "Artists have always been in the position to raise awareness for social and political issues. I am thrilled that so many Broadway voices are singing-out for our Good Global Citizen dialogue!"

ProjectExplorer.org encourages the entire theatre community to take part by adding their own video responses to the Good Global Citizen project website. In the coming months, ProjectExplorer.org will reveal more notable contributors...including the points-of-view of several widely acclaimed Broadway voices.
