Firehouse Show to Benefit Artists Fund

For RAPT card holders only:
UPDATE:
This special performance of I Am My Own Wife has been moved to Tuesday, October 10, 8pm. RAPT tickets are only $10! (Thanks for the update, Jackie Jones.)

A special performance of I Am My Own Wife at Firehouse Theatre, Tuesday, October 10, 8pm, to benefit RAPT's Richmond Theatre Artists Fund.

If you have not had the opportunity to see this show, and that happens often with show run conflicts, please make it a point to attend this special production. Not only do you get to see a performance with only RAPT members (when else can you see all these theatre folks in one place?) but you get to support a very important cause, the Richmond Theatre Artists Fund.

I've not received any official word on the fund, I'd be grateful for fund clarifications posted in the comments section. As far as I've heard, this is the fund started to help theatre artists in extreme financial situations - be it medical, family, work, etc. Once the fund is fully established ($10,000 minimum via the Community Foundation), artists can begin applying; a board of selected individuals will assist in dispersing the monies yearly. This emergency fund could not be more important to the amazing local theatre talent.

Thanks to RAPT for working hard to get this moving! Remember, when the $10,000 minimum is met, money will still need to be raised. The more money in the fund, the more money they will be able to distribute yearly.

You can also donate to the fund even if you are not available to see Scott Wichman's amazing performance. I believe you can contact any RAPT organization for more information on donating.

Thanks to Firehouse Theatre, and everyone involved with this production, for this RAPT opportunity!
