The Broadway community is deeply involved with charity and supporting important causes—it’s in their DNA. Hosted by Jan Svendsen, former head of marketing for the Tony Awards and The Broadway League, and Chief Creative Officer for the Charity Network, The Broadway Gives Back Podcast spotlights Broadway actors, shows, and organizations in their pursuit of social responsibility and impact. Our talented guests will share stories about their favorite charities, how they got involved, and the people and causes who have benefited from these philanthropic efforts. From stars to stagehands, cast members to front of house, and causes large and small, we will discuss why philanthropy is so vital and inspiring. This feel-good podcast will also discuss ways you can do good through education and taking action to make the world a better place.
