The application for the 2025-2026 Open Stage Project ACT 2 Program is open!
The ACT 2 Program is a FREE year-long, afterschool program for NYC high school girls, including cisgender and transgender girls, and nonbinary students interested in learning about behind-the-scenes careers in theater, TV, and film. The program includes monthly skill-building workshops; field trips to professional scenic, costume, and lighting shops; networking with women working in TV, film, and Broadway; and one-on-one mentorship with industry professionals. High school students in the ACT 2 Program learn about college and career pathways in the entertainment industry. They also gain valuable resources and connections that help them apply to other extracurricular programs and jobs in the entertainment industry. The ACT 2 Program prepares students to participate in our paid, summer fellowship program after they graduate high school, which allows fellows to work alongside industry professionals in the entertainment industry.
Applications for the 2025-2026 program are accepted throughout the summer and are due August 1, 2025.

Grant Details
The goal of the BGA’s NYC Theatre Greening Grants is to support environmentally friendly projects and activities developed by members of these communities, and to communicate those programs to a broader audience. The amount granted (up to $750) will depend on the scope and needs of the individual applications, as well as on how many applications are received in a given year. Projects most likely to receive full or partial funding are innovative and designed to be long-term sustainable solutions.
These grants are designed to encourage a venue, company, or producer to initiate a specific greener change. Preference will be given to new and innovative initiatives in this field. Grant applications will be considered from any Off-Broadway, Off-Off-Broadway, or independent producer, company, group, or venue based in New York City. Reimbursements for recent sustainable upgrades will also be considered, though new projects are preferred.
The deadline for submissions for the 2025 NYC Theatre Greening Grants is
Tuesday, July 15 at 5pm ET.
