The Actors Fund
[link removed]
Dear Actors Fund Friends,
Young and upcoming members of the performing arts community, much
like everyone else, are not having the summers they
expected-especially in regards to opportunities to learn and
grow with their craft. However, that doesn't mean we still
can't celebrate their accomplishments and futures in the
entertainment industry! And Vanguard Theater Company is doing just
that, with an online cabaret featuring their Broadway Buddy mentorship
program. This event also benefits our COVID-19 programs and services,
helping performing arts professionals in need due to the pandemic.
These young performers have virtually connected with their mentors for
unforgettable duets that you won't want to miss!
We also continue to care for the seniors in our community with
wellness calls, grocery deliveries and online opportunities to
socialize and safely connect with one another. For example, we invite
you to explore the Performing Arts Legacy Project, where older members
of the performing arts and entertainment industry can create profiles
and accounts of their lives in the arts for everyone to enjoy and
remember.

And of course, our online workshops, groups and seminars continue each
month free of charge, to provide support and tools pertaining to
career shifts, health and health insurance, housing, financial
wellness and more. If you or someone you know could use some guidance,
visit actorsfund.org/workshops and actorsfund.org/gethelp

We hope everyone is staying safe and healthy. And as another month
begins, we're reminded again of how grateful we are to all of
you for your dedication and commitment to The Actors Fund and our
performing arts community.
