The Artist as Activist

Adam Kantor, the Broadway actor known for his roles in Rent, Avenue Q, The Last Five Years, Fiddler on the Roof, and The Band’s Visit spends his time offstage tending to his other passions – food, travel, and community service. Throughout his career, Adam’s dedication to philanthropy and activism have been central and constant. Adam was a founder of Broadway in South Africa, an initiative that brought performers to South African townships to offer students resources in music and education. More recently, he co-founded StoryCourse, a curated dining program that advocates for storytelling through cooking, with an emphasis on immigrant and LGBTQ chefs. Adam’s core idea is the question, “How does food tell a story?” And his core mission is finding a delicious, clever way to make the marginalized feel seen.
