For over thirty years Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS has been advocating for those theatre artists who are in need of medicine, housing, rehabilitation, and counseling. At the forefront of this magnificent organization is their Executive Director, Tom Viola.

Tom pulls back the curtain on his career to discuss how he joined Colleen Dewhurst in the daunting quest of saving the theatre community, what it was like shepherding such New York institutions as The Red Bucket Follies, Broadway Backwards, Nothing Like A Dame, and why he continues to advocate for those without a voice.

Also, Tom shines the spotlight on Jerry Mitchell, Rodger McFarlane, and Phyllis Newman!
