Developed by the Broadway Green Alliance, No Day But Today: A Climate Talk That’s Also Kind of a Broadway Musical is an engaging 30-minute slide show presentation framed as a play. The prologue sets the stage for the climate crisis, pulling the curtain aside on its causes, devastating impacts, and the real threat it poses to humanity. Then the talk shifts its tone to that of a hopeful Broadway musical, spotlighting the solutions already within reach and the artists taking action right now. Blending science with the power of the performing arts, this climate talk – that’s also kind of a Broadway musical – is a compelling story of urgency, hope and action that will inspire and empower audiences to help build a more sustainable future.
