For all you aspiring actors, screenwriters and playwrights:

The East West Players is participating in the ABC and The Walt Disney Studios Talent Development Scholarship Grant Program. Here's more info from an e-mail I received:

Artists selected for the Scholarship Grant Program will receive a grant of $20,000. Organizations that submit a winning recipient will receive a $10,000 winning grant to expand or enhance a creative arts program. Selected participants will be paired with a mentor for 10 months. The program concludes with a series of workshops in Los Angeles at ABC Entertainment and The Walt Disney Studios.

ABC and The Walt Disney Studios will award the scholarships/grants through the participating organizations only. NO SUBMISSIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED FROM APPLICANTS DIRECTLY.

This program is an especially great opportunity for any filmmaker wanting to make a video, write a screenplay, or write a TV script. To receive an application for this program, please e-mail East West Players Literary Manager Jeff Liu at jliu [at] eastwestplayers.org. Read the application carefully, and send in all the required elements by February 24, 2006.

The Asian American Theater Company is offering and eight-week acting studio from March 7 through April 27 and an eight-week writing studio from March 4 through April 8.
