A kinder world through the arts

Let your talent shine

Be part of an unforgettable two-day experience designed to elevate your talent, ignite your passion, and help create a kinder world through the arts.

Now in its second edition, Light Up the Night honors Aidan Duver’s talent and legacy of kindness by bringing together the two communities where he felt most at home: The Broadway Star Project and the Be A Friend Project. Together, participants will present a live show at Chelsea Table + Stage and create, record, and film a powerful new kindness and anti-bullying anthem.
