Broadway Star Stephanie J. Block Has Been Sending Money to Arts Workers Affected by Coronavirus Closures

Tony Award-winning actress Stephanie J. Block is doing her part to help people who work in the theater/arts industry and are out of work because of closures due to coronavirus.

The Broadway star found a thread on Twitter in which people are sharing their Venmo names and Stephanie has been sending money to a lot of them.

“Hey theater folks: if you’re hourly, weekly, etc, and have had work cancelled and are *not getting paid*, respond to this thread with your Venmo account, please,” Twitter user Jenna Clark Embrey wrote on Thursday after Broadway was shut down.

Stephanie replied to tweets with a green check mark whenever she sent money to someone.
