About the event, Tom Viola, executive director of Broadway Cares, said in a statement, "From our first days in the late 1980's, the Daytime community has always joined Broadway Cares in its fundraising efforts on behalf of people with AIDS and their families with extraordinary enthusiasm and generosity. The stars of daytime have been special champions — not to mention that a good many 'moonlight' nights on Broadway. All of us at BC/EFA are now thrilled to be able to be a part of 'All My Children's' anniversary celebration with this special performance in Town Hall." "All My Children" celebrated its 35th anniversary Jan. 5. The daytime drama won the 1998 Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series, the third time the show received this honor. "All My Children" is produced in New York and airs Monday-Friday afternoons at 1 PM ET on ABC-TV.
Town Hall is located in Manhattan on West 43rd Street. Visit www.broadwaycares.org for more information.
