Broadway to Participate in 9/11 Tribute; No Broadway on Broadway 2011
An announcement from the Broadway League has revealed that the Broadway community will mark the tenth anniversary of 9/11 by gathering in Duffy Square on Friday, September 9, 2011 at 4:00pm. This event will encore the iconic performance that took place one decade ago when Broadway performers helped inspire New Yorkers to return to normalcy with a landmark outdoor performance.
A decade later, Broadway will once again inspire, this time in support of inspiring 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance, engendered by 9/11 Day's "I Will" campaign (911day.org) which seeks to encourage millions of people to perform good deeds, support charitable causes, and volunteer in tribute to the 9/11 victims and survivors, and all those that rose in service in response to the attacks.
More information about all details will be forthcoming.
Produced by The Broadway League in support of the 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance, with additional support provided by the Times Square Alliance and Theatre Development Fund (TDF).
The annual outdoor concert in Times Square, Broadway on Broadway, which has in the past taken place on the Sunday after Labor Day, has been postponed this year in honor of the tenth anniversary of 9/11. Stay tuned for a very special 20th Anniversary edition of Broadway on Broadway in Fall, 2012.
