Stars in the House

Stars in the House is a daily live streamed web series created and hosted by Seth Rudetsky and his husband James Wesley supporting The Actors Fund and its services, created in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States in March 2020.
"Stars in the House" is a combination of music, community, and education (from CBS Chief Medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook) with new shows airing daily at 2 PM ET and 8 PM ET on the Actors Fund YouTube Channel. With musical performances by stars remotely from their home and conversations with Seth and James between each tune, viewers can also donate to the charity and interact with the guests in real time. "Stars in the House" raised over $50,000 in the first four days of airing and plans to stream daily until Broadway re-opens. They have raised a total of over $925,880 as of May 14, 2021. 
As of March 8, 2021, they have also raised $203,337 for other 501c3s including The Trevor Project, You Gotta Believe, NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Cats4CovidRelief, Broadway at CBST, Greater Orlando Performing Arts Relief, Cancer Support Community, New York Gay Men's Chorus, Youth Pride Chorus, Tonewall, Bullets to Books, and Waterkeeper Alliance.
Development.
On March 12, 2020, New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio enacted new restrictions to try to stop the spread of the Coronavirus, which at the time had already infected nearly 100 people. One of the restrictions was banning most gatherings of more than 500 people, which included all Broadway theaters. Quickly after, states like California and Illinois enacted similar guidelines. With thousands of actors instantly out of work and stuck at home, Rudetsky and Wesley came up with the idea as a way to both raise spirits and help those suffering.
The first show aired on Monday, March 16, with Tony Award winner Kelli O'Hara.
