The Barrow Group strives to advance diverse voices in American theatre, television, and film. We aim to create a pipeline of talent that better reflects the eclectic tapestry of our culture and empowers talent that has historically been marginalized. Each year, The Barrow Group provides scholarships to BIPOC and students demonstrating financial need. These scholarships give access to TBG's acclaimed professional acting, writing, directing, and teacher training and have been funded by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, HBO, the Citrin Foundation, and the GJS Family Fund.
