It is made up of 15 individual theatrical charities – each with their own remit. Between them they offer financial and emotional assistance and support to those in the entertainment profession who have fallen on hard times. The member charities dispense over £2 million to hundreds of people within the profession every year.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For every successful performer, there are hundreds of actors, dancers, musicians, lighting technicians, scene painters, wardrobe staff, front of house, backstage staff who are not so fortunate. They may be suffering from illness, injury, be caring for a child with special needs, or have reached an age when they simply can no longer work to support themselves or make ends meet. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://actingforothers.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Find out more about the charity and donate here</span></a></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Richard II </i>starring David Tennant and directed by Gregory Doran will play in residence in Stratford-upon-Avon until 16th November 2013 when it will then transfer to The Barbican in <st1:city w:st="on">London</st1:city>.<br /><br />The run is completely sold out, but there may be returns.
