ActorCrafts will take place Saturday, April 29th (10AM-6PM) in the
gymnasium of the Holy Cross School (332 W. 43rd Street /Between 8th
& 9th Avenues).
With a new theme of "Comedy and Tragedy"---the fair
is produced by Josef Reiter, this event is made possible by the
generous support of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. Admission is free.
The exhibiting artisans are a diverse group of
theatre professionals made up of actors, singers, dancers, musicians,
stage managers, and wardrobe personnel Not only do they act, sing,
dance, play instruments, direct and choreograph, but in their spare
time, they paint, photograph, sculpt, make clothing, purses and
jewelry, and the list goes on and on. Audrey Lavine,
Brad Musgrove and Barbara Marineau will be among those taking part in the event.
ActorCrafts
started about two and a half years ago, according to 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.
