WELCOME TO ROCKERS ON BROADWAY

Rockers On Broadway was founded by Donnie Kehr in 1993. Inspired by an idea from Pete Townshend during the Broadway run of "The Who’s Tommy", they wanted to give musical theatre performers the opportunity to experience the feeling of singing with a rock band in a concert style venue, so they could understand and transfer the rawness and edge of Rock ’n’ Roll to the stage. These exciting and memorable events also provided the opportunity to raise money for worthy charities like Broadway Cares / Equity Fights Aids and Wingspan Arts, Inc. Over the years, Rockers On Broadway has donated over $50,000.

As a result of the continued success of Rockers, the producers are proud to announce that they have formed a foundation to enable them to create and produce other charitable events.  The PATH Fund, Inc. was formed to give artists of all kinds an avenue to share their unique talents while helping raise money for charities that benefit the arts and entertainment communities that inspires their livelihood. Official 501(c)3 status is pending.
