FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, PLEASE
“BROADWAY JACKBOX”
HOSTED BY ANDREW BARTH FELDMAN AND ALEX BONIELLO
WILL RAISE MONEY FOR
THE ACTORS FUND
AND THEIR SERVICES FOR THOSE IN NEED IN
PERFORMING ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT
SERIES WILL CONTINUE TO AIR TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS

New York, NY (March 20, 2020) – The Actors Fund, the national human
services organization for everyone in performing arts and entertainment,
announced today that “Broadway Jackbox,” produced by Jimmy Award®
winner Andrew Barth Feldman (Dear Evan Hansen) and actor and Tony
Award®-winning producer Alex Boniello (Spring Awakening, Dear
Evan Hansen
) will continue to air on Tuesdays and Fridays at 6:00PM EST,
raising money for The Actors Fund through donations from viewers.

The next episode will air TODAY, Friday, March 20th at 4:00PM
(early time today only) and will be themed to the TV Show “Smash,”
featuring Andrew and Alex with cast members Jeremy Jordan
(Newsies, Bonnie and Clyde, Little Shop of Horrors), Katharine McPhee
(Waitress, “American Idol”), Krysta Rodriguez (Hercules, Spring Awakening,
The Addams Family), and Andy Mientus (Spring Awakening, Les Misérables,
“The Flash”). The series will be hosted on the Broadway Jackbox Twitch
channel which can be found HERE.

“The first ones were such a blast,” Feldman said “They completely
achieved our goal of creating something silly, fun, and distracting amidst
this craziness, but Alex and I both realized we could use this to give back to
our community in a more concrete way. With the theater community in
such a state of flux, it only seemed right to give to The Actors Fund who
are doing all they can to help our industry through this insane,
unprecedented time. So let’s have some fun and do some good! And also,
as the self-appointed head of the #ReviveSmash campaign, this is big for me.”

known for their successful trivia franchise YOU DON’T KNOW JACK, the hit
Jackbox Party Pack franchise, Quiplash, Fibbage, Trivia Murder Party, and

you to draw weird doodles, write the best inside joke, or answer hilarious
trivia questions. There are hours of laughs in every pack! In addition to the
players, the games allow for audience participation in voting for the best
answers, and sometimes even competing. People can join by simply using
