Broadway's spring fundraising efforts for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS culminates each year in the Easter Bonnet Competition. The 33rd annual celebration took place April 22 and 23 at the Minskoff Theatre, where it was announced during the second performance that between Broadway, Off-Broadway, and touring productions, the theatre community raised a total of $6,594,778 through curtain call appeals over the course of six weeks.
The grand total was revealed following the Easter Bonnet presentations, during which various productions performed sketches and numbers parodying themselves and their fellow shows while presenting custom-designed (and often extravagant, as you can see in the gallery below) bonnets.
