On March 16, 2020, Seth Rudetsky and James Wesley launched “Stars In The House” in response to what they knew would be an immediate need for funds in light of the Broadway shutdown.
Now, one year and over 375 episodes later, “Stars In The House” has raised over $715,000 for The Actors Fund, and an additional $200,000 for other charity organizations who have needed support throughout the pandemic.
“We can’t believe it has been a year! We continue to be overwhelmed by the generosity of our viewers, who send in donations from all over the world,” said Rudetsky and Wesley. “We thought that after the first few weeks, contributions would dwindle and the show would be more about bringing some joy and positivity during these dark times. But the fact that we have been able to do both – deliver fun and financial support – is beyond our wildest dreams. We are so grateful to our team behind the scenes,...

Green's resume doesn't instill much confidence that this project will be very successful. His last three films include duds The Sitter, Your Highness and Pineapple Express. That been said, he did helm the excellent Snow Angels and All the Real Girls, so who knows, maybe he can return to his former glory. Little House on the Prairie is based on the semi-autobiographical classic children's book series by Laura Ingalls Wilder written...
