It's been exactly one month since Hurricane Maria slammed Puerto Rico,Sisters Slave (2019) and as the island still struggles to recover from storm's devastating damage, celebrities like Scarlett Johansson are aiding in relief efforts.
To raise additional funds for the island, Johansson organized a reading of Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer Prize-winning play Our Town,and called on a few of her Avengersco-stars to join in the fun, according to a release.

According to the release other celebrities will be making surprise appearances, and Kenny Leon — a Tony award winner — will be directing the production.
"The struggle faced by Puerto Rican residents since their island was ravaged by Hurricane Maria is terribly heartbreaking and has left many feeling hopeless and helpless," Johansson said in the release.
"It is a great privilege to be able to participate in whatever way I can, to provide some relief to those that are struggling to access even the most basic of human needs in the aftermath of this disastrous event."
Though President Trump recently gave the U.S. a perfect "10" for its response to the hurricane, statistics from the Puerto Rican government show nearly 80 percent of the island is still without power and many residents are still without access to clean drinking water or cell service.
Proceeds from Johansson's reading will go directly to hurricane relief efforts and tickets (starting at $89) and VIP packages can be purchased on Oct. 23 at 10:00 a.m. ET.
