The Concert for America: Stand Up, Sing Out! series, which is raising money for human rights organizations, continues its unofficial tour of the U.S. as it arrives in Hartford, Connecticut, October 16.
While the first installments of the fundraising series took place in New York, Playbill columnist and Sirius/XM radio host Seth Rudetsky and his husband, James Wesley, have been bringing the concerts to cities across the country, including recent outings in Atlanta and Seattle. The October concert of songs, comedy, and commentary (the ninth in the series) will take place at Hartford’s Bushnell Hall.
