Founded in December 1923, the Guild — a membership organization as well as a charity — is, indeed, celebrating our centennial this year. The mission of the Episcopal Actors' Guild is to provide emergency aid and support to professional performers of all faiths — and none — who are undergoing nancial crisis. We are also dedicated to helping emerging artists advance their careers through scholarships, awards and performance opportunities. Among the rst leaders of the Guild were Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Julia Marlowe and George Arliss, who was the rst president of the Guild and helped form Actors' Equity 10 years earlier. We have been extraordinarily busy during the pandemic and throughout the strikes, helping members of our community in need. Those seeking help can contact us at actorsguild.org. Anthony Neweld President, Episcopal Actors' Guild New York Local SAGAFTRA STRONG 2023 was a historic year for SAG-AFTRA, as we stood together to ght for what was right. I am so very proud to be a part of this community and to have participated in the strike efforts. I have been a member of SAG-AFTRA since 2000, and my teenage daughter more recently became a member.
