Even in the age of virtual programming, creatives are still developing new works and cultivating the arts to engage new audiences. Tony nominees Lilli Cooper (Tootsie) and Denee Benton (The Great Comet) are headlining the new musical, Haley at Therapy, for a virtual performance on February 8. The new work, with book, music, and lyrics by Josh Canfield and musical arrangements by Taylor Peckham, is a musical comedy about a woman’s first visit with her therapist. 

The event is a fundraiser for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and will be streamed for free on February 8 by visiting HERE. The virtual performance will be available on-demand and after its premiere. Donations are accepted and all money will go towards supporting the efforts of those affected by HIV/AIDS, Covid-19, and other illnesses so people can receive healthy meals, medication, emergency financial assistance, counseling, and more.
