“Anyone who loves Broadway and supports the arts should absolutely come,” said Eileen Bustillo, a member of the Covenant House Asbury Park Program Board. “It’s a true community event that you won’t want to miss. In addition to performing, we will have students putting posters all over the area, helping with lighting and stage management, and ushering the night of the event. I am so proud of all these young people who are stepping up to help and make a difference.”

“Each of our homeless kids comes to us with their own story, and we don’t turn any away. We are so grateful to all of these performers and volunteers, young and old, who are making it possible for us to keep our doors open for the young people who need us”, says Marcia Mann, Development Director for Covenant House. Covenant House New Jersey serves homeless young men and women between the ages of 18 and 21 and has a community outreach center in Asbury Park.
