What do people do during times of struggle and uncertainty? They do Variety Shows! In partnership with TUSC (The Union Solidarity Coalition) we are producing a two-hour, live event at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles on October 25, 2023 to raise money for TV & Film crew members who are suffering due to the current work stoppage.
The Give Back-ular Spectacular! will be a night of exciting musical acts, stand up comedy, sketches and games with big name performers. The show will have an audience at The Orpheum, and will also be live-streamed nationally where the home viewers will be able to have an interactive experience. Everyone will have the opportunity to donate via the live-stream, QR code and text.
The purpose of this event is to raise money to provide emergency relief for members of IATSE, the Teamsters, LIUNA, as well as other workers in our industry (PAs, office staff, etc.) who are facing difficulty due to the disruptions of the past year. Donations are tax deductible, and the Motion Picture Television Fund will administer the distribution.
The event will be produced by Marta Kauffman, Paul McCrane, Robbie Rowe Tollin, Jesse Schiller, Paul Scheer, Tony Phelan, Tara Miele and Kate Wagener, in association with TUSC.
