The Actors Hall of Fame Foundation is dedicated to restoring dramatic arts education in schools and expanding the value and importance of dramatic arts throughout society.

Access to dramatic arts education is being denied to millions of students due to budget cuts and limited resources. Studies show that dramatic arts education builds self esteem, foster improved communication skills and teaches the value of teamwork - benefits that last a lifetime.

Did you know that:
  1. 74% of students in our elementary and secondary schools HAVE NO dedicated theatre arts curriculum or program
  2. In the last National Arts Assessment, students averaged 12-18 points higher in Theatre than music.
  3. The amount of graduates from colleges and universities offering performing arts degrees has doubled in the last 15 years! There are now over 4500 schools offering undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in dramatic arts.

By honoring actors for career achievement in Film, Television and Stage, we create opportunities and support for the cultural and educational benefits that dramatic arts make in all of our lives.
