The Actors Fund and the Places Please Project initiative will give grants of up to $5,000 for those who left the city during the pandemic and are returning to go back to work.
Places Please Project was founded by Tony-nominated actor Lilli Cooper, Tony-nominated writer Kyle Jarrow, Tony-nominated composer Andrew Lippa, Downstage Media founder Annie Schiffmann and New York SongSpace founder Kara Unterberg in order to financially assist theater workers returning to New York.
To be eligible, applicants must be New York City-based theater workers who left the city during the pandemic and are returning to regain employment in the industry. Applicants must be further willing to offer documentation of former theater work and potential future work as well as proof that they formerly lived in New York but moved elsewhere during the pandemic. Applicants must show theater-related earnings of over $6,500 for three of the last five years.
“Since March of 2020, The Actors Fund has distributed more than $22.3 million in emergency financial assistance to more than 16,600 members of the performing arts and entertainment community,” The Actors Fund president Joe Benincasa said in a statement. “We’ve partnered with more than 20 organizations to support all professions in the entertainment industry, and we’re proud to join with Places Please Project to help theater workers moving back to New York be safe and secure in their futures.
Places Please Project is also currently continuing to fundraise for the grants, currently with a $50,000 matching grant from Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
