December of 1984, AIDS was ravaging New York’s artistic community. When stage manager Jane Neufeld bumped into actor Arne Gundersen on a street corner that month, the conversation quickly, naturally turned to the epidemic that was stealing the lives of so many of their friends—and that the American mainstream had yet to embrace as a force worth fighting. The two theater professionals also happened to be members of Actors’ Equity Association’s executive council. They wondered what, if anything, their union could do to advance the cause of combating the disease. Then, like good union officers, they formed a committee. Neufeld and Gundersen joined with actors Patrick Quinn and Judy Rice and stage manager Jane Robertson to begin laying the groundwork for what would become Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. Since its formal founding in 1988, the organization has raised more than $225 million to provide services to the critically ill.
