Audacity Project at the Entertainment Industry Foundation

About

Grammy, Emmy, and 3-time Tony Award-winning artist and activist Billy Porter has partnered with the Entertainment Industry Foundation on his new endeavor to create a pipeline of opportunity for primarily BIPOC and LGBTQ+ youth to gain the experience and expertise to access below-the-line jobs in the entertainment industry. Inspired by an experience directing his first film, Billy witnessed firsthand the systemic barriers in place that keep young people who share his identities from knowing about and obtaining long-term careers in TV/film, music, and theater beyond the more public facing roles like acting, singing, dancing, directing, and producing.
