In a benefit performance the performers (and, likely, the crew, director, holder of copyright, etc. ) usually do not earn any money. Instead, the takings will go to raise money for (to "benefit") some mutually agreed upon cause: e.g. the Actors Benevolent Fund; a hospital; a foundation. In other cases, a benefit performance is given to help the writer or a performer out of financial difficulties.
