On May 12, SAG-AFTRA leaders and staff celebrated the history of The Rehearsal Club, an organization founded in 1913 to establish a safe haven for young women embarking on performing arts careers in New York City.
The Rehearsal Club received a commemorative plaque in the West 53rd Street branch of the New York Public Library to celebrate its former location. The plaque installation was followed by a reception at the Museum of Modern Art.
The Rehearsal Club is currently located in the Webster Apartments on West 34th Street and continues its original mission to be a true home for young women who aspire to careers across the entertainment industry, including acting in theater, television and film, plus writers, composers, directors, choreographers, designers, stage managers and production assistants.
