Financial support to launch an acting career
It’s well documented that the costs associated with pursuing a career as an actor are often a barrier to many working class artists.
Our Career Kickstarter Fund will make a dent in those initial costs for one actor each year by paying for professional headshots and one year’s Spotlight membership. The chosen actor will also be offered free, one-to-one audition workshops with Middle Child’s artistic director.
