ActorCrafts started about two and a half years ago, according to Mr. Reiter. "As I was seeking an outlet for my own work, I came up with the idea for ActorCrafts. Since I know so many theatre folk who make such wonderful crafts and artwork, wouldn't it be great if we could all come together and have some sort of show spotlighting our other talents!"

This event is made possible by the generous support of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. BC/EFA is the nation's leading industry-based, nonprofit AIDS fund raising and grant making organization. BC/EFA is the on-going, committed response from the American theater community to an urgent worldwide health crisis. By drawing upon the talents, resources and generosity of this community, BC/EFA raises funds for AIDS-related causes across the United States. Since it's founding in 1988, BC/EFA has distributed over $80 million for critically needed services for people with AIDS, HIV, or HIV-related illnesses.
