The Guild's Annual Memorial Service has been an ongoing tradition since our founding in 1923. This year's Annual Memorial List is featured here and is updated weekly. It commemorates and celebrates the lives and careers of our performing arts colleagues who have deceased during the previous year. Held on the second Sunday of November in our National Headquarters, "The Little Church Around the Corner," it features a Memorial Address by an invited luminary of the performing arts community, and an enthusiastic standing ovation for our deceased colleagues. It is a unique and unforgettable event, and performers of all beliefs are most welcome to attend.
