Watch a 10-minute play every day and raise money for the Theatre Community Benevolent Fund
March 31, 2021 Twitter Facebook
M. Bevin O’Gara has supported the Theatre Community Benevolent Fund, but never expected to ask for its help herself.
The nonprofit was established in the late 1990s to help local theater artists facing unanticipated catastrophes, be it a medical emergency, a stolen laptop, or a house fire. Veteran Boston director O’Gara (CFA’04), whose credits include plays at the Huntington Theatre Company and Boston Playwrights’ Theatre, donated to the fund and even performed in a fundraising video. She has also regularly bought tickets for the Boston Theater Marathon, an annual festival of 10-minute plays that is the fund’s largest revenue source.

Home is where the heart is, and these days, it s where a lot of work gets done too. That is certainly the case for Alexis Scheer and Dan Ryan. And it s quite an example of just how much can be accomplished within a small household space.
How small, you ask? We’ve been in our 400-square-foot studio together since March, and both of us being creatives, we’ve actually done some pretty interesting things, said Ryan from their Brookline mini-domicile. Alexis and I are both multi-hyphenates, he continued. I am a conductor/composer/singer, and Alexis is a writer/actor/producer.
