Dear Actors Fund Friends,

We rarely get to peek behind the curtain at how Broadway shows develop, which is why we’re so excited to share a special streaming event of the 2018 industry workshop of the revival of The Secret Garden. This virtual presentation, which benefits both our programs and services and the Dramatists Guild Foundation, offers show-only tickets as well as VIP ticket packages that include pre-show events with the show’s creators, Marsha Norman and Lucy Simon, as well as a post-show Q&A with director Warren Carlyle. We hope you’ll join us for this special experience of spirit and charm.

We have many other wonderful digital events and creative projects to share with you; thank you for being a part of our dedicated community supporting a life in the arts.
