Social Goods, the online store for activist clothes and accessories, has launched a special collection that will help send more New York City students to Broadway productions before they graduate high school.
For every purchase from the Arts Advocate capsule, designed in collaboration with Prinkshop, 25% of proceeds will be donated to the 2022 Broadway production of “Macbeth” and their Broadway Bridges’ initiative to provide students with theater tickets free of charge. The limited-edition collection features tees, long-sleeve shirts, totes and stickers — all overlayed with the Arts Advocate branding in pink lettering. Prices range in price between $4 for a sticker and $80 for a sweatshirt, all available on Social Goods’ website.
The collection comes as more people are headed back to the theater: dozens of highly anticipated shows have reopened in the past few months after shuttering their doors amidst the pandemic. In addition to “Macbeth,” which has been temporarily cancelled after Daniel Craig contracted COVID-19 this week, new shows include a Beanie Feldstein-helmed “Funny Girl” and an all-new “Wicked” starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo.
Check out the Social Goods x Macbeth capsule below, in addition to more Broadway swag to gift your favorite theater kid this year.

The collection includes sweatshirts, tees, totes and stickers designed with Art Advocate’s branding.

‘Oklahoma’ DVD Starring Hugh Jackman
Readying for the Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster “Music Man” extravaganza? There’s no better way to get hyped than binge watching Jackman’s collection of musical numbers. But while you’re reliving his time as “The Greatest Showman,” the nasal glory that was his Jean Valjean in “Les Miserables” or even perusing bootleg clips from “The Boy From Oz” (although we highly recommend revising Peter Allen’s original videos on DVD whenever possible) we urge you to make time for his earlier work in “Oklahoma!”
What you will witness is a baby-faced, boy genius on the cusp of breaking in this 1999 London performance of the Rodgers and Hammerstein production. Is it as good as the recent 2019 revival, irrelevant they’re both brilliant. But if you’re on the Jackman kick, his surrey with the fringe on top will live on as one of the actor’s greatest performances of all time. It’s an absolute delight and will get you all kinds of excited for his next role as Professor Harold Hill.
