Dear Actors Fund Friends,
We hope that wherever you are as you read this, that you're
healthy and well. The past four months have been difficult and
unexpected in ways we could never have imagined, but time and again
we've also seen signs of hope, compassion and inspiration.
Thousands of professionals in our performing arts and entertainment
community need help right now; seniors who have paved the way for so
many are no exception. In fact, seniors are part of the most
vulnerable population facing COVID-19. This is why we're proud
to share our Seniors Safety Net Campaign, which will directly support
our programming for older members of our industry-including food
service, housing assistance, medical care, social isolation prevention
and more.

We're also incredibly grateful to our friends at Broadway
Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, who are matching every donation to the
Seniors Safety Net Campaign dollar for dollar-up to $100,000! If
you're interested in contributing, your gift will be matched and
have double the impact to help those in need.

We have an exciting line-up of online events and new music for you, so
we hope you're able to take a break and join us for at least
one-or all!-of these performances. Thank you as always for
being a part of our Actors Fund network of support and dedication to
the arts.

Don't miss the sublimely intimate documentary Olympia. This fly
on the wall verité production tells a heart-wrenching story of
Olympia Dukakis becoming her own woman, on her own terms to assert a
gigantic creative force into the world. By rebelling against her
suspicious Greek mother to assert her strong sexual drive, fighting
the feeling she was "too ethnic" amid the Boston Brahmin
at BU, and starting her own theater company in New Jersey instead of
waiting for the phone to ring, Olympia Dukakis models how to live life
with blazing courage.
Available to watch online for one night only.
