Dear friends, family, and community,

Our hearts are profoundly broken by the sudden passing of Josh Grisetti this past Friday at the age of 44.

Josh was a luminous force across Broadway, television, film, and academia, leaving an indelible imprint on the global creative community. The extraordinary outpouring of love from Los Angeles, New York, Virginia, and beyond stands as a moving testament to the depth of his impact.

In Lieu of Traditional Gifts or Meals

So many of you have generously asked how you can help support Josh's wife and family during this incredibly difficult time.

Born from so many requests, this fund offers a practical way to express your love to Josh's next of kin. Contributions will directly cover Josh's final arrangements, provide essential support for Mackenzie, and ease the time-sensitive travel logistics of bringing our families together. Your generosity allows us to focus entirely on grieving and supporting one another rather than navigating administrative strain.

Supporting the Broader Creative Community

Any funds raised that are not used for the express purpose of bringing closure and managing immediate end-of-life logistics will be donated directly to the Entertainment Community Fund.

The Entertainment Community Fund serves as a critical safety net for performing arts and entertainment professionals. Crucially, they provide confidential mental health services, crisis counseling, and support groups tailored specifically to the unique pressures of a life in the arts, helping those facing mental health crises and suicide risk. We are honored to support their mission in Josh’s memory.

Whether through a contribution, a shared memory in the comments, or keeping us in your thoughts, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

With all our love and gratitude,

The Grisetti and Perpich Families
