In the months since Boston withdrew inside to fight COVID-19, the local theater community has taken to the internet to keep spirits high and artists secure.
Now, to add to social-distanced entertainment calendars, the Theatre Community Benevolent Fund has launched a new program called CARE-oke to raise funds for affected artists and bring local favorites back into the spotlight.
Local performer Amy Barker brainstormed the fundraiser and brought it to the attention of the TCBF board.
Many theater artists in the Greater Boston area have no means of support and are struggling to make ends meet,” says Barker.
In the first CARE-oke performance, Kathy St. George, a Stoneham native and local favorite, sang “For Me and My Gal,” by Judy Garland and Gene Kelly.
