Join Ogunquit Playhouse and Ogunquit’s Mainestreet nightclub as they come together for their first online collaboration with Broadway Gives Back to the Playhouse, a free hour-long virtual benefit featuring Playhouse stars and Broadway veterans in a cabaret-style celebration of the historic Ogunquit Playhouse.

Broadway Gives Back to the Playhouse is a star-studded night of music and memories, live streamed from both the Ogunquit Playhouse stage with Executive Artistic Director Bradford T. Kenney, and from Mainestreet's cabaret room with drag co-hostess Minerva Maine.

Together they'll welcome the musical stylings of Broadway and Playhouse stars, including:

• F. Michael Haynie and Sydney Morton
  from 2016’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame

• Reed Campbell and Michele Ragusa
  from 2017’s Bullets Over Broadway

• Nicole Vanessa Ortiz
  from 2018’s Smokey Joe's Cafe

• Darnell Abraham and Lindsay Roberts

Plus, there will be memories shared by treasured members of the Playhouse family, including Tony and Emmy Award-winning actor Hal Linden (from 2018’s Grumpy Old Men, and star of the hit television series Barney Miller), and by television star Cindy Williams (from 2019’s Menopause The Musical, and known for her role as Shirley Feeney on the hit TV comedy series Laverne and Shirley).

For years, Mainestreet and Ogunquit Playhouse have collaborated on Broadway Gives Back, a series of high-energy evenings featuring show tunes and jam sessions from cast and crew in a cabaret setting, generating thousands of dollars for local charitable and service organizations.

This year, the community is returning the favor with Broadway Gives Back to the Playhouse, a free benefit concert helping to bridge a $3.5M financial gap until Ogunquit Playhouse is able to return for its 2021 season with the fantastic shows audiences have loved for 88 years.

To watch live and participate in Broadway Gives Back to the Playhouse, visit the Ogunquit Playhouse YouTube channel, or Facebook page, Thursday, September 24 at 7:00PM ET. Throughout the concert, you will be able to share memories and messages of support, as well as make donations via text and online.

For those unable to join live, the video will live on in archive format for all to enjoy.
