Description

You Can EMPOWER a GRRRL

Find Her Voice and Speak Her Truth

Join us to raise scholarship funds to bring Act Like a GRRRL to a new generation of young women.

Speaking your truth. It sounds simple but it's not. It's risky business. As recent events in the media remind us, when a woman's or girl's truth is in conflict with the status quo, she may be ridiculed, discredited, hated or silenced.

Act Like a GRRRL is a place where young women (ages 12-18) have the freedom and support to find their voice and then translate their personal truths into a powerful public performance. Over the course of the month-long program, grrrls are transformed by the radical experience of being able to say what they believe without hostile reprucussions.


The future of women depends on the lives of girls. The more young women are empowered to stand up and speak out in support of their mothers, grandmothers, sisters, aunts, cousins and selves, the brighter the future shines.

A GRRRL who feels the strength of her own voice can change the world for all of us.

Your tax-deductible donation will help girls in financial need join Act Like a GRRRL for a year (summer and year-round program). Gifts of all sizes make a difference.

Help a girl become a GRRRL today.

Act Like a GRRRL is a program of Actors Bridge Ensemble, a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization in Nashville, Tennessee and is led by founder/artistic director Vali Forrister.

Actors Bridge Ensemble

We are a Meisner Technique training program for new and seasoned actors.

We are a women-led theatre company of Nashville natives dedicated to telling the stories our hometown needs to hear.

We are in love with broadening what is considered theater in our community.

We are people who help others find their voice and speak their truths .

WE BELIEVE

We believe in theater’s power to heal us in a thousand places we may not have realized needed healing.

We believe that the theater is a sacred calling: we make a promise to our community to stay emotionally connected in a world that praises going numb. We promise to feel and remind our audiences how good feeling can be.

We believe in the ensemble principle. The person you see on stage in one show you will likely see behind the light board in the next. The person selling tickets may also be a budding new playwright. Your usher is likely an aspiring actor.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to tell the stories Nashville needs to hear as we train theater artists, produce socially conscious plays, create new work, expand what counts as theater in our community, and help artists and audiences care more about their neighbors and themselves.
