“Words are just specks on a page until an actor makes them their own and puts back into the specks all of the things that Shakespeare had in his heart and in his gigantic mind before he turned them into specks (which is the only way he could do it). We have to take those symbols, those little black specks, and turn them into emotion and rhetoric and - oh, goodness! - a play, a character, a part.”
Our Vision:
To memorialize a great teacher and make scholarship opportunities available for exceptional students.
Our Plan:
The James Tripp Memorial Scholarship Fund will be an annual effort to raise funds to make free training available for young artists who have an appetite for artistic bravery. We hope to endow the fund so that scholarships can be granted annually without interruption.
