Casting Society Cares and Actors Pro Expo are hosting a virtual Meals-4-Monologues.
CSA members will be devoting a full day to seeing actors online. Donations from performers to support Feeding America or a local food bank are welcomed, but not required.
A link to food banks world wide can be found below:
The need for food banks has increased over recent years. In the early part of the pandemic, around half of people who used a food bank had never needed one before. Although no official data has been published, with the huge effect both the pandemic and recent industry strikes have had on freelancers and the arts, we believe it's safe to assume many of those now needing to access these services will include our very own community.
Meals 4 Monologues is an opportunity to perform for Casting Directors & Casting Associates plus make a donation to Feeding America, or a local food bank, to stop hunger.
Please note, donating money does not guarantee you a Meals 4 Monologues slot.
More information about Feeding America: Feeding America is the nation's largest domestic hunger-relief organization with 200 food banks across the United States. With school closures, job disruptions and health risks due to the coronavirus, millions of Americans will turn to food banks for much-needed support. Every day, there are already millions of children and adults who do not get the meals they need. We work to get nourishing food - from farmers, manufacturers, and retailers - to our neighbors.
