The campaign began in New York and more than 100 theaters across the country hosted events for their local communities. At 5:30 p.m. the attendees shined individuals lights into the sky to make one beam of light as a symbol of solidarity. The mission of the gathering was to show unity in the pursuit of inclusion, diversity, equality and justice for people of all backgrounds and to provide a safe place within the theater community.
