The Ideal Theatre Grant

At GLMCC, we seek to build a diverse community of teaching artists who put equity, inclusion, and anti-racism into the heart of their artistic and teaching practices.

This grant has been established to support Black, Indigenous, Hispanic, Asian, and other people of color teachers and artists as they work their way through teacher or actor certification. In doing so, we seek to diversify not only the community of Michael Chekhov Technique teachers and practitioners, but also the training itself.
