TCG Offering Grants To Professional Actors

Theatre Communications Group (TCG) is administering the seventh round of Fox Foundation Resident Actor Fellowships, a program giving actors the opportunity to grow artistically and professionally in collaboration with one of TCG’s member theatres. The goals of the program are: to further an actor’s artistic and professional development, to deepen and enrich his/her relationship with a not-for-profit theatre, to ensure his/her continued professional commitment to live theatre, and to encourage actors to work outside their comfort zone.

Actors are selected in two categories: Extraordinary Potential supports early to mid-career actors who have completed their training within the last 15 years. Distinguished Achievement supports actors who have demonstrated considerable experience in professional theatre, with a substantial body of work. Recipients in the first category will receive $15,000, with an additional $10,000 available to relieve student loan debt. Recipients in the latter category will receive $25,000.
