SiriusXM Broadway host Seth Rudetsky and producer James Wesley will produce a daily live streamed concert series, Stars in the House, featuring starts or stage and screen performing live (from home!) to promote support for The Actors Fund and its services. Shows will air daily at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Eastern Time on The Actor’s Fund’s YouTube channel.
Each show will feature a live performance by a performer or couple and conversations with Rudetsky between each tune.
Rudetsky will encourage live viewers to donate, and Wesley will give updates from The Fund as well as shout-outs to people donating in real time.
“Our main concern is raising spirits and helping The Fund help those who are suffering,” Rudetsky said. “We’re hoping that everyone watching will not only enjoy the amazing singing and the inside Broadway stories, but also donate to the Actors Fund. And, because social distancing is so important right now, every star will be singing from his or her own home!”
