Songs for The States: A Benefit for the Gavin Creel Fellowship

April 24, 2026

Songs for the States is proud to bring its inspiring celebration of arts education to 54 Below. Directed and produced by Leila Rose Gross and Jack Sobolewski, Songs for the States is a nationwide initiative committed to raising awareness and financial support for underfunded arts programs across the country. This performance features a dynamic cast of rising stars—from Broadway stages to award-winning films—united by their passion for the arts and advocacy for equitable arts education. We are especially honored to be raising funds in support of the Gavin Creel Fellowship, which empowers early-career theater artists as they begin their professional journeys. Join us for an unforgettable evening of musical theater classics, bold storytelling, and powerful performances by the next generation of changemakers in the arts.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Gavin Creel Fellowship.
