Broadway theaters plan to do everything from washing their costumes in cold water to producing and disposing of sets in a more environmentally friendly way to lower the theater industry’s carbon footprint, organizers said.
Several characters from Broadway shows made cameo appearances in support of the plan to lower carbon emissions.
