TTLP’s programs are specifically built for Black theater professionals. It is our belief that by focusing on one of the most marginalized groups of people, we will ultimately create space for professionals of all races and ethnicities. For this current pilot program, we will focus on Black applicants due to the extremity to which they are excluded.
General/Company Management applications are due by July 16th
