Charge of the Soul: Broadway, Baby!
Description
Charge of the Soul is back with Broadway, Baby!, a one-night show-tune cabaret in support of Art Institute of Chicago Workers United.
Join us for an evening of Broadway favorites, deep cuts, big voices, and worker solidarity, performed by Chicago artists coming together in support of the people who keep one of our city’s major cultural institutions running.
We believe the arts cannot thrive without the workers behind them. Cultural workers deserve fair pay, strong protections, a voice in their workplace, and the right to organize for something better. Broadway, Baby! is our chance to raise our voices alongside theirs.
Come sing along, tip your performers, support organized labor, and stand with AICWU.
The show must go on. So should the union.
