Over Labor Day Weekend, Audra joins Sirius XM Radio Star and longtime friend Seth Rudetsky in Massachusetts for three evenings of sensational songs and conversation. Audra and Seth’s collaborations often center around philanthropic efforts: their recent Broadway @ Town Hall concert series raised funds for Sandy Hook Promise, Audra was featured on a recording co-produced by Seth and his husband James Wesley to raise money for the Orlando shooting victims (“What The World Needs Now”), and she also performed in a benefit entitled Concert For America presented by Seth and James’s foundation, Your Kids, Our Kids.

On June 3, Audra performed at A Night of Broadway Stars in support of Covenant House International, an organization dedicated to providing services for homeless youth. Along with Caitlin Kinneun and Celia Kennan-Bolger, Audra sang “Dance With You” from The Prom. The organization’s annual fundraiser honored Rachel Brosnahan with the Beacon of Hope Award as well as Jim Burke and Doug Blagdon.

Audra has served on the organization’s board since 2014. The 2019 charity event raised over $1.9 million for Covenant House.

Audra McDonald shares her thoughts on youth homelessness and the work of Covenant House International with NBC News THINK. In this unique op-ed, she talks about how preparing the role of Billie Holiday in “Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill” lead to thinking about young people in dire situations.

Audra has served on the organization’s board since 2014 and will perform in their upcoming “A Night of Broadway Stars” on Monday, June 3. Click here for tickets.
