Actors Bridge Announces SIDESHOW

Actors Bridge believes in taking risks on emerging talent.

This year, we’ve decided to take this commitment to a new level with SIDESHOW, a ten-month training immersion program comprised of 12 emerging artists in the first three years of their professional career in their current discipline.

SIDESHOW artists will further their training in their primary discipline while cross-training in another theatre discipline at Actors Bridge.

The SIDESHOW ensemble will produce three professional theatre events as a supplement to the Actors Bridge 2011-12 main stage season beginning with SIDESHOW FRINGE (Sept 29-Oct 2).

SIDESHOW’s inaugural season will be led by three of Nashville theatre’s most outstanding emerging professionals with long-standing ties to Actors Bridge:  Jessika Malone, Jackie Johnson and Mitch Massaro.

The 2011-12 SIDESHOW Ensemble is:

Jessika Malone (Producer / Director/ Actor)
Jackie Johnson (Stage Manager / Actor / Director)
Mitch Massaro (Playwright / Designer / Director)
Amanda Meador (Scenic Artist / Actor)
