"This past year has taken its toll on the theatre community. A lot of my theatre friends fell into a deep depression from the social deprivation and financial uncertainty," says Lexis. "Knowing the 1 year anniversary of the Broadway shutdown was approaching, I wanted to bring some relief to the community in the 2 ways I could best: through laughter and through fundraising. I got the green light from The Actors Fund to promote my comedy sketch as a fundraiser for their COVID-19 Emergency Relief."
STEPHANIE LEXIS is a comedienne, singer-songwriter, actress, and body positivity activist from New Jersey. When Stephanie is not performing and writing her own material, she is running her online initiative Broadway Body Positivity Project, which aims to make theatre spaces more equitable for performers of all body types!
