“My greatest personal achievement as an Acting Lab Mentor is truly when I can change people’s lives through the Acting Lab in the same way that AWB has changed mine.”

About us

“When we worked on a scene from Our Town, the script hit hard, because it reverberated into my life of having a traumatic injury. Just like the character in Our Town, I realized I can’t “go back” no matter how badly I want to. I’m not the same person.”

AWB relies on volunteers.

The first Sunday of every month volunteers assist our actors at workshops as they learn their lines and rehearse their parts. Our most dedicated volunteers support our actors throughout the year and are a part of the yearly performance. There are opportunities for people who want a creative outlet through set design, props and costume development. Great for early teens, adults and seniors!
