“The acting and stage-management community needs support as never before. We live in tough, anxious times, with theatres closing, companies folding overnight and tours being abruptly cancelled. The trustees and the team at Actors’ Trust have worked hard to produce a plan which enables many more actors and those in stage management to get much-needed help. We dearly thank our members for their continuing support.”
