Dear Actors Fund Friends,

Slowly but surely, the signs of summer that seemed so muted this time a year ago are coming back. Whether it's in the form of seeing old friends for the first time in awhile, or the sights and sounds of empty streets coming alive again, people are coming together to enjoy and appreciate pleasant weather and pleasant company.

Amidst this reawakening, we continue to appreciate all of you, who from your homes banded together to support the work we do. In attending virtual events, donating your money, or even just spreading the word on social media, you helped support a life in the arts at a time when it was (and remains) so desperately needed.

Thank you, again, for all you've done so far, and enjoy this week's online events.

Gen Xers and Baby Boomers, let your talent shine! Jim Brickman is presenting Brickman’s Big Break, the only talent search exclusively for singers and musicians over 40, to benefit The Actors Fund.

In a world where TV Talent shows focus on ages 18-30, Brickman’s Big Break embraces talented men & women ages 40+. The final Top 20 will be determined by Jim Brickman’s team of industry pros and votes from fans; the group will then be narrowed down to the Top 10, who will be featured on a livestream concert for fans and experts to vote. Industry experts include high profile talent managers, Grammy winning songwriters and luminaries from American Idol and America’s Got Talent.
