Mission and programs · 2022

Primary exempt purpose

To provide actor training and theatrical performances to the general public.

  • During FY 2022, Actors Bridge performed 3 professional productions, including productions of The Vagina Monologues, by Eve Ensler, When We Were Young and Unafraid, by Sarah Treem, and the world premiere of Heavy by Alicia Haymer. Our commitment to excellence has garnered Actors Bridge a strong reputation as a company committed to bold, creative choices and grounded in high performance standards.

    Expenses $125,883

  • Act Like a GRRRL is an autobiographical writing program for young women to achieve a public voice, working with female mentors in professional creative fields, while engaging with peers from diverse backgrounds. ALAG gives girls the tools to critically analyze the culture in which they live, so that they become active change agents, rather than passive recipients of cultural messages. ALAG celebrates girls' strengths and voices and by so doing, promotes girls' leadership. 16 girls participated in the program during FY 2022. The program also includes offerings for adult women, with 13 women experiencing incarceration at the Debra K. Johnson Rehabilitation Center served during FY 2022.

    Expenses $14,674

  • Actors Bridge provides local actors an opportunity for serious study. The program uses an acting technique developed by Sanford Meisner, founder of the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York. Actors Bridge has trained over 5,000 students, many of whom are working professionally on stages or in film in New York, Los Angeles, and Nashville. Approximately 200 students participated in Meisner Technique classes during FY 2022.

    Expenses $20,843
