Funding the Future of Acting

The TKS Equity in Acting Excellence Project is dedicated to creating opportunities for students from marginalized communities who would otherwise not have the financial means to attend Terry Knickerbocker Studio.

Your support enables us to provide these students with access to exceptional training led by our world-class faculty, immersive experiences in our beautiful Industry City space, and a comprehensive curriculum designed to nurture their growth, refine their craft, and empower their artistic expression. Together, we can ensure that underrepresented communities have the opportunity to train at the highest level and pursue their individual artistic goals.

Two women are sitting on chairs in deep conversation, with one gesturing expressively. In the background, another woman at a desk observes them, surrounded by photos and a sanitizer. The cozy room, resembling a module library, features a wooden floor and pristine white walls.

A minimalist classroom with several rows of bright orange chairs facing a desk at the front. Large windows in the back let in natural light, and walls are adorned with acoustic panels and curtains. A sign with "TK" is visible, while a compact module library sits unobtrusively in the corner.

Three people stand in a brightly lit room near a window. A woman gestures while speaking to a man and another woman, who are both listening attentively. They appear to be having a discussion about the new module library in a casual setting.

Small yellow flowers in a vase sit on a windowsill, exuding an optimistic charm. A large window behind them reveals a blurred view of urban buildings, while the letters "T" and "K" form part of a creative stained glass design at the top of the window.

A group of six people gather around a wooden table with a bowl of oranges and plants, laughing and talking like they're in the midst of actor training. Two people on the right are embracing. Large windows in the background reveal a building outside, with "TK" on the glass.

Invest in a Future Where Art Reflects the Full Richness of Humanity

Right now, we are building the foundation to support students on a rolling basis to attend our two-year Meisner Acting Conservatory. This means your donation today will directly fund opportunities for students to access this transformative training, ensuring that financial barriers do not get in the way of their growth and success.

This initiative will not only nurture these students’ talent but also create opportunities for them to share their growth and stories through showcases. More importantly, your generosity will help these actors bring fresh, diverse perspectives to an industry that desperately needs them. By contributing, you’re doing more than supporting an actor’s education—you’re investing in a future where art reflects the full richness of humanity.
