Thinking of seeing a Broadway show? Why not go on a night when you can enjoy the performance and support an organization that gives aid to needy members of the profession?

The nation's "only human service organization for all entertainment professionals," the Actors' Fund of America is best known for providing financial assistance and social services (food, rent, medical expenses) to professionals in need. Given on a night when the show doesn't normally play, an Actors' Fund performance, with all benefits going to the Fund, charges the same box office prices as on other nights and is often well-attended by members of the entertainment community.

Here's the upcoming line-up for Actors' Fund benefits:

Chicago, June 13, 2 PM -- Shubert Theatre.

Annie, June 17, 7:30 PM -- Martin Beck Theatre. The Phantom Of The Opera, June 22, 3 PM -- Majestic Theatre.

The Phantom Of The Opera, June 25, 2 PM -- Washington DC's Kennedy Center. (The "Raoul" second touring company.)

Tickets to these special performances may be purchased from TicketMaster, Tele-Charge or through the Actors' Fund at 1-800-FUND-TIX, extension 133.
