“We are living in challenging and complicated times,” said Light during the show’s close. “But I look out at this beautiful audience, I know our voices will not be silenced. We must remember that safe is hot sex. Know your status. Testing and treatment to equal preventions. Undetectable equals untransmittable. We can best love each other by protecting each other.”
Broadway Bares: Game Night raised $1,875,090 for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
