As we head into the holiday season, calendars seem to fill up faster,
days often feel shorter, and one event immediately follows the next.
So it's extra important to take care of yourself and your
families, friends and colleagues-and take some time to pause
and enjoy it all!
The Actors Fund is thrilled to partner with the John Gore
Organization to bring flu shots to national touring companies across
the country, via The Actors Fund Flu Shot Program for Touring
Companies. We're committed to caring for our performing arts
family when they're at home and on the road, and we're
honored that the John Gore Foundation has joined us in this endeavor.

We also had an invigorating fall season in Chicago, with housing,
financial wellness and health workshops free to everyone in the
industry.
Finally, what better way to celebrate the holiday season than with
music and a show? Join us on December 16 for Mr. Magoo's
Christmas Carol

, starring Gavin Lee, Sierra Boggess and many more.
We look forward to sharing many moments of joy, large and small, with
you throughout the coming weeks. Thank you as always for being a part
of our community!

Flu Shot Program for Touring Companies
The Actors Fund is proud to team up with the John Gore Organization
on the launch of The Actors Fund Flu Shot Program for Touring
Companies.
The program provides flu shots to the cast, crew and traveling family
members of Actors' Equity national touring companies, as well
as theatrical venue staff. Flu shots are made available at theater
venues by trained pharmacists from CVS Pharmacy. If patients are
insured, the flu shots are billed to the insurer; for anyone
uninsured, the John Gore Organization covers the cost.
Since September, the program has administered nearly 400 flu shots to
the tours of Les Misérables in Tulsa, OK;
Hamilton-Angelica Tour in Philadelphia, PA; Come From
Away in Cincinnati, OH; Miss Saigon in Costa Mesa,
CA; Beautiful: The Carole King Musical in Portland,
ME; Wicked in New Orleans, LA; Hello, Dolly! in St.
Louis, MO; Aladdin in Durham, NC; Harry Potter and
the Cursed Child in San Francisco, CA; Rent in Boston, MA
and more.

What's New in Chicago
The Actors Fund is thrilled to be growing our workshops and
partnerships in Chicago!
Working closely with local partners at The University of
Chicago's Arts + Public Life initiative and SAG-AFTRA, The Fund
presented Affordable Housing workshops at the Kaufherr Resource Center
and the new Green Line Performing Arts Center in Washington Park.
The Fund also joined Howard Brown Health, SAG_AFTRA Chicago Local
and CEILC for the Chicago Entertainment Community Health Fair.
Attendees (union and non-union) had access to a range of free health
services including flu shots; blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes
screenings; rapid HIV screenings and counseling; PReP and PEP info
and counseling; dental screenings; physical therapy consultations and
more.
We also began financial wellness workshops to cover a variety of
monetary concerns and questions.
