Songs for Our City Concert Series in Times Square

Songs for Our City began as a way to honor the creativity and resilience of the Broadway community during the COVID-19 shutdown in summer 2020. The songwriting challenge returns in 2021 to celebrate the industry and imagine a brighter future.

Songs for Our City has asked members of the Broadway community to write original songs inspired by the past year and the present moment. They will share their new songs in free live concerts, with audience votes deciding who will perform again in the final concert for a panel of judges. The participating songwriters are primarily past performers of our Broadway Buskers concert series, which showcases Broadway actors and up-and-coming composers performing their own original music. Join for this celebration of the theatre community, creativity, and live music.

Songs for Our City will be judged by Director of New Artists at The Public Theater Jack Phillips Moore, theatre critic and creator of Token Theatre Friends Jose Solís, and Cambodian Rock Band playwright Lauren Yee.
