LEARN ABOUT OUR SCHOLARS
FOUNDED IN 2020 BY CODY RENARD RICHARD AND BROADWAY ADVOCACY COALITION, THIS PROGRAM AIMS TO BUILD A BRIDGE INTO THE INDUSTRY FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF THEATRICAL LEADERSHIP OF COLOR.
“The Cody Renard Richard Scholarship Program offered me something I could only dream about. For the first time in my life, I had access to mentors of color & a cohort of friends who were people of color in the backstage industry. It often feels isolating being the only person of color in the room. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to feel safe & understood by my peers.”
