S: Is for solidarity

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will not get married until all can. Now Tony Award-winning actress Sutton Foster and will join Oskar Eustis, Cleve Jones, Gavin Creel and David Stone onstage at Central Park's Delacorte Theater (enter at
81st Street and Central Park West or 79th Street and Fifth Avenue). The rally, being held in advance of October's National Equality March in Washington, D.C., will take place today, Friday, August 28, from 2:30-3:30 PM and is open to the public.

The producers of the Tony Award-winning revival of HAIR previously announced, in an unprecedented move, they are canceling the show's Sunday, October 11th performance so that the entire cast can join the National Equality March in Washington, D.C.

Oskar Eustis, Artistic Director of The Public Theater and producer of HAIR, said “The Public Theater has always aspired to make theater that matters, that speaks to the great social issues of our time. HAIR has never been just a show; its message of change and hope and inclusion is one we try to live, not just preach. This is the moment when we need to recognize the right of all citizens, gay and straight, to have their love and their unions acknowledged by the state. We are proud to join with Cleve Jones and the National Equality March in support of gay marriage. Peace now! Equality now! Justice forever!” These are words that should be FA.C.T.S
