Artistic Producer, Christopher Wilson speaks to why supporting The AFC in this way matters: “Working in musical theatre means navigating constant uncertainty. When contracts shift, opportunities change, or disaster strikes, many in our community can face real financial and personal pressures. What stands out about The AFC is how consistently they show up for entertainment workers when life takes an unexpected turn. Their focus on emergency financial aid, mental health support, and practical guidance makes a tangible difference in people’s lives, and it’s why I believe so strongly in their mission.” Toronto Musical Concerts previously championed the work of The AFC during the COVID-19 pandemic: “Within a week of lockdown, we launched BIG GIRL & Friends, a livestream series that featured musical theatre artists from across the country to raise awareness and support for The AFC. That experience cemented my respect for the organization. In a sector where  employment is often unpredictable, they continue to be a lifeline for  entertainment professionals. Toronto Musical Concerts is proud to support them again through Cocktails & Candy Canes.” Toronto Musical Concerts is a dynamic not-for-profit professional musical theatre company, presenting high-quality musical concerts, produces cutting-edge works, develops emerging talents and new audiences, and providing educational opportunities and community arts outreach The AFC is the lifeline for Canada’s entertainment industry, supporting people across film, television, theatre, music and dance. Its mission is to help entertainment professionals stay healthy, housed, and able to keep working by providing emergency financial aid, mental health supports, financial wellness programs, career guidance, and community workshops. The AFC fills the gaps that government and industry can’t by responding quickly in moments of crisis while also giving people the tools to build long-term stability.
