The actress is teaming up with Katharine McPhee, Megan Hilty, Leslie Odom Jr. and more stars to help raise money for The Actors Fund amid the coronavirus pandemic
"The Actor’s Fund is a national human services organization that meets the need of the entire entertainment community that includes all professionals, not just actors, in film, television, theater, music, opera, radio and dance," says Messing. "They provide help for affordable housing, training services, emergency financial assistance, health care, mental health support and more. It really is an extraordinary organization.
Besides raising money, Messing says she hopes the event also offers a little respite during these tough times. "My greatest hope is that we raise a ton of money to help everyone who is suffering as a result of COVID-19," says Messing. "But I also hope we uplift people. These are actors, singers and dancers who are regularly on Broadway. It’s that caliber of performers and it will be a lot of fun."
