Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS provides help with medical and living expenses to those struggling with HIV/AIDS nationally, and does that through grants to smaller organizations, such as AIDS Care (the recent merger of AIDS Rochester and the AIDS Community Health Center). So your help with be felt here in Rochester and all over the country.
This year's show specifically addresses one of the most difficult aspects of fighting any serious illness: loneliness, the feeling that one's struggle is unique to oneself, that no one can possibly understand. Family and friends also face a kind of loneliness: feeling that they are caring for someone alone, frustration that no one around them may understand what it is to care for an ill person, and, of course, fear of the death of a loved one. This year's show will explore how we face and overcome the loneliness and emotional disconnect that we all experience at some point in our lives, whether illness-related or not.
The show will include material molded from interviews of Rochesterians who have a variety of relationships to the HIV/AIDS epidemic -- those who've lost friends or significant others, parents of the sick, doctors, community advocates and those just happy to be alive.
The family-friendly show is both funny and profound, and will reach audience members in every stage of their lives.
The other take on the title, of course, is to fight the ignorance, hatred and discrimination that surrounds the devastating HIV/AIDS epidemic -- with love.
Tickets are only $10 and can be purchased at the door or online. See "View Event Website"
