BACKSTAGE PASS: ARTISTS HELPING ARTISTS
|
|
"Artists Helping Artists The Actors' Fund of Canada provides emergency financial aid to assist artists going through troubling times. Over 10,000 professionals from all over Canada and in the fields of film & TV, theatre, music and dance have been helped by the Fund, including performers, creators, technical staff and production team members. For most, working in the entertainment industry is a passion and calling that often comes with tremendous reward; for many it can result in a life of uncertainty. It is common when working in the theatre to consider your fellow cast members and crew as a second family. When in need, your family steps up to help you, whether through groceries, rent, or aid with immediate needs. This is the raison d'être of this vital charity organization.
The Actors' Fund is wholly sustained through support of individuals, often fellow artists, and entertainment organizations. In my time spent as an actor at the Charlottetown Festival, the company raised close to $1000 through a backstage bake sale hosted after every matinee performance. We knew the funds raised would go towards taking care of our own.
On Thursday, November 13th following their performance, the cast of Belles Soeurs: The Musical will be throwing a Company Cabaret in support of the Actors' Fund. You are invited to hear them sing their favourite songs for a suggested donation of $10. By the same token, each participant is paying to perform.
Please consider joining us to experience firsthand the joy of off-stage camaraderie, the incredible talents of this phenomenal cast and an added celebration of this historical production.
For more information on the Actors' Fund of Canada or to make a donation, visit www.actorsfund.ca"
Lisa Rubin, Artistic and Executive Director
