When
veteran Memphis theater actress/volunteer Jo Lynn Palmer suffered from a major
health issue in April 2011, it was a wake-up call to all of us in the Memphis
theater community. This was not an isolated incident. Many members of the local theater
community may be under-insured or in need of aid when it comes to medical
issues. As
a result, Theatre Memphis, Germantown Community Theatre, and Playhouse on the
Square have set up a community fund to aid and assist volunteers and staff of
the Memphis theater community who are in medical or specific social financial
distress or need. The account is called the Emergency
Needs for the Theater Artists Community FUND (ENTAC). The process to receive funds will
be monitored and applied by a committee appointed by the theatres and will be
open to the entire Memphis theater community as defined by the committee. Each
award of cash will be reviewed on an individual basis with the priority going
to medical needs and assistance.
