Dear Actors Fund Friends,

We hope this email finds you and your loved ones safe and well during these difficult times.

Since June 8, 1882, The Actors Fund has been proud to support professionals in the performing arts and entertainment community; and we continue to do so via our COVID-19 Emergency Financial Assistance program, a list of COVID-19 resources, and free online workshops to help everyone throughout the country navigate the new landscape of our industry.

We also want to continue sharing a love of the performing arts with all of you. Even though we can’t gather at our favorite Broadway shows, sit at the edge of our seats for a groundbreaking dance performance, or attend a highly-anticipated movie, we’re still proud to share these amazing virtual events that make us smile, laugh and sing along.

Thank you for being a part of The Actors Fund community, and we hope you join us online until we can safely be together in person again.
