Dear Actors Fund Friends,

The support you provide helps so many people in our performing arts and entertainment industry right now, every day. In addition, it helps sustain our community so future generations can know that a life in the arts is possible.

Enjoy this week's events and fundraisers, and we look forward to seeing you soon.

B is for Broadway
Available for Pre-Order

Penguin Random House

B is for Broadway: Onstage and Backstage from A to Z, written by John Robert Allman and illustrated by Peter Emmerich, is the follow-up to the hit picture book A Is for Audra.

Step into the spotlight and start with “A” for “audition” with the iconic line-up from A Chorus Line. Peek behind “B” to see the “backstage” buzz and dance along with “C” for “choreographers.”

Children and grown-ups alike can read about beloved stars, creators and shows including Lin-Manuel Miranda, Patti LuPone, Michael Bennett, Jennifer Holliday, Ethel Merman, Billy Porter, Hamilton and Hairspray, along with the crew, stylists, technicians and more who are vital to every performance. A portion of the proceeds from book sales will be donated to The Actors Fund.

Green Room 42

The Reading Series, a virtual play reading group created in January 2021 by Alison Tanney, Kerrie Bond, Erin Leddy and Tim Realbuto, just announced their first live and in-person cabaret at Green Room 42 in NYC. Over the past 13 months, the group has produced 12 virtual readings of published plays and new works, giving performers an opportunity to continue to share their art during the shutdown while raising money for The Actors Fund.

This one-night-only concert will feature reading alums and friends of the group Samantha Pauly (Six), Tally Sessions (Company), Janine DiVita (Jagged Little Pill), Andrew Kober (Hair), Christine Dwyer (Wicked) and Nick Gaswirth (Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812). In addition to in-person tickets, $19 virtual tickets are available. Ticket proceeds will be donated to The Actors Fund.
