A Virtual Vaudeville
Donation protected
We here at Théâtre Libre are missing the theatre very much. We miss our friends, we miss the creative outlet that theatre provides, and most of all - we miss the connections we make- with our fellow practitioners and with our audiences.
Whilst we acknowledge that for us, nothing will ever beat the energy of live, in-the-flesh theatre - we thought long and hard about what we could do in the meantime, during the Covid-19 pandemic. So while things right now are uncertain and maybe a little scary, we offer you this:
A Virtual Vaudeville: A Night in with Théâtre Libre
A night which provides a platform for our pent up creativity, a chance to entertain, and a way to connect with each other.
We are also asking for donations, anywhere from 1 -10 pounds to be donated to our GoFundMe where we will then allocate it to two charities. One for support of artists in the UK and one for support of artists in the US.
We've chosen Acting for Others for the UK. Acting for Others provides financial and emotional support to all theatre workers in times of need through the 14 member charities.
We've chosen The Actors Fund for the US. The Actors Fund works to assist everyone who works in performing arts and entertainment across the country, they're collaborating with our community to help navigate these challenging times. Since March 18, 2020, The Actors Fund has distributed more than $9.9 million in emergency financial assistance to 8,337 people in our industry. This money is helping people cover basic living expenses, such as food, essential medications, utilities and more.
So, please join us May 16th at 7:00pm BST, 2:00pm EST, 11:00am PST. From the comfort of your home!
