Actors Fund Special Performances, according to the Fund, "have been thrilling audiences for more than 80 years with an electric energy unlike any other night of theatre! What makes a Special Performance so 'special'? Each year, Broadway companies, in New York and on the road, generously give their time and talent by adding a performance to already rigorous schedules to benefit The Actors Fund."

Eugene O'Neill Theatre is located at 230 West 49th Street; Nederlander Theatre is located at 208 West 41st Street; Lunt-Fontanne Theatre is located at 205 West 46th Street; and the Minskoff Theatre is located at 200 West 45th Street.
