 “Broadway Bares,” a program of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, was conceived and produced by Jerry Mitchell (Tony Award-winning director and choreographer), has been an annual AIDS fundraising event in NYC for 27 years raising over one million dollars annually. Jerry, a Broadway dancer at the time and a strong supporter of Broadway Cares, began to raise funds for Broadway Cares by getting his dancer friends together to put on a strip show in a local gay bar as a fundraising event. His modest efforts have grown dramatically and now “Broadway Bares” is one of the largest annual fundraisers in NYC.

The Richmond/Ermet Aid Foundation (REAF) has created a West Coast version in SF collaborating with Broadway Bares NY. In 2016, “Broadway Bares SF: Tech Tails” debuted at Club Fugazi, home of Beach Blanket Babylon, featuring over 50 singers & dancer/strippers and that was followed by “Broadway Bares SF; ManuSTRIPT: Literary Tales with Happy Endings” at DNA Lounge in 2017. This collaboration was spearheaded by former Broadway Bares dancer Deb Leamy who moved to SF from NYC in 2014 and who conceived the idea of creating a West Coast version of this unique benefit show. Deb teamed up with REAF’s event producers, Ken Henderson and Joe Seiler, to create the San Francisco version focused on a tongue-in-cheek series of theme-based dances where one or more of our dancers strip or get stripped by the end.  

“Broadway Bares” is a good old-fashioned Burlesque-style strip show featuring dozens of hot dancers stripping to raise money for HIV and AIDS services. Our 2018 editionTop Shelf COCKTAILS: Tales of Sipping and Stripping will follow our emcees on a merry romp around many of San Francisco’s favorite watering holes and celebrate their signature cocktails. Special guests appearing in this 2017 edition include Broadway / TV star 
Jai Rodriguez, reality TV star Cassandra Cass, and cabaret/performance star
Leanne Borghesi. Funds raised will support local HIV services through REAF and nationally through Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
