Dear Actors Fund Friends,
Storytelling is what unites all forms of art: dance, singing,
writing, photography, acting, painting and so much more. We all chose
different mediums to share our story, but the important part is
finding outlets to make our voices heard.
This is no different when it comes to completing the 2020 United
States Census. This is your chance to make sure you and your family
members are reflected in your community. Your life and your story
count. The results of the 2020 Census will help determine how hundreds
of billions of dollars in federal funding flow into communities every
year for the next decade. This includes money for public transit,
schools, natural disaster responses, senior care and so much more.
Learn more and complete the Census at my2020census.gov. It takes less
than 10 minutes to complete, and the impact will last for the next 10
years. The deadline was just changed too, so you only have until
September 30 to make your voice count...and you won't have
this chance again until 2030. Act now

Once your Census is complete, we hope you enjoy these upcoming
productions! As always, we're so pleased to share these virtual
performances with you, and thank you for your ongoing commitment to
the performing arts and entertainment community.

Dinner With Friends
Friday, September 4, 7 pm ET

Join Ben Davis (Dear Evan Hansen), Kenita Miller (Once On This
Island), Jackie Burns (Wicked, If/Then) and Chad
Jennings (Wicked) for Play Reading Fridays's production of Donald
Margulies's dark comedy Dinner With Friends, benefiting The Actors
Fund.
The play is a funny yet bittersweet examination of the married lives
of two couples who have been extremely close for dozens of years.
Although it seems to be treading on familiar ground, the play keeps
changing its perspective to show how one couple's breakup can have
equally devastating effects on another's stability.
