Following its fifth anniversary celebration event (a concert version of the children's musical Finn), Stars in the House�Seth Rudetsky and James Wesley Jackson's streaming series that has raised funds for the Entertainment Community Fund and more—will return to regular programming beginning March 28 with a reading of Everything You Need to Know About Abortion in One Hour or Less.

The upcoming reading is one of four currently planned live streams that also includes the annual New York City Gay Men's Chorus benefit, a game night featuring former stars of Wicked, and a musical celebration of Passover.

The series, created at the beginning of the pandemic, will continue to serve as a platform for marginalized communities and organizations in need.

“For the past five years, Stars in the House has been a place for people to share their stories, feel connected, and sing up a storm, even through some of the darkest times we’ve known,� said Rudetsky and Jackson in a joint statement. “This next chapter of the series will do the same, as we continue to extend its reach to anyone in need. We are so excited for what’s to come as we bring these incredible events and productions into homes around the world.�

The current schedule of events follows:

March 28 at 7:30 PM ET: A live stream from the Drama Book Shop of Everything You Need to Know About Abortion in One Hour or Less, written by the five playwrights of The Wish Collective—Justice Hehir, Dena Igusti, Phanésia Pharel, Nia Akilah Robinson, and Julia Specht. Hosted by Luis A. Miranda, Jr. and Dr. Luz Towns-Miranda of the Miranda Family Fund, the reading will be directed by Jenna Worsham and will feature Adam Alpert, Katherine Bahena-Benitez, Nadel Henville, Aamer Husain, Eden Marryshow, Savannah Ritz Villarreal, Constance Shulman, and Jessica Speight.
