Remember the Ribbon was co-directed by Bryan Campione and
Leonard Rodino, with music by Broadway Sings, led by producer Corey Mach
and music director Joshua Stephen Kartes.
Performers were backed by a band including Kartes on keys, Colin Dean on bass, Nick Anton on guitar, and Zachary Eldridge on drums. Sydney Steele served as stage manager, with technical production by Sony Hall and event filming by Michael Moritz Productions.
"Playbill is proud to host Remember the Ribbon for our third year, as we continue to honor our beloved friends, members of our community, and beyond who have been affected by HIV and AIDS," shared Playbill Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Alex Birsh. "We so look forward to spending the evening with GLAAD and our sponsors, Gilead Sciences and the Edison Hotel, without whom the night would not be possible."
Remember the Ribbon will stream December 1–3 on Playbill.com and on Playbill's YouTube channel, with an embedded donation button allowing audiences to make tax-deductible donations supporting GLAAD's work in HIV advocacy, and research.
