NEW YORK—President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign is getting some big-name fundraising help on Monday from Broadway’s top stars.
Theatrical work in the US is overseen and contracted by the Actors’ Equity Association, whose some 51,000 American actors and stage managers remain on the job. Both Biden and first lady Jill Biden will attend the event, with tickets ranging from $250 to $7,500. Biden will also take part in another private fundraiser in Manhattan on Monday.
Writers have been on strike for 4 1/2 months over issues including pay, job security and regulating the use of artificial intelligence. SAG-AFTRA members went on strike on July 14. Southern California, the home of extraordinary wealth and the engine of the film and television industry, has historically served as an ATM for the Democratic Party.
