Theatre of Dare Scholarships
Helping the next generation of actors, technicians, writers, designers, and animators.
Each season, Theatre of Dare awards scholarships to deserving local seniors - in Currituck, Dare, and Hyde counties - who plan to attend college and major in the performing arts as well as college students who have received awards in the past and are continuing their education. In Spring 2025, we awarded a total of $10,000 to six local students!
​
Participation in Theatre of Dare is not a prerequisite.
​
If you know of a high school senior in our area planning to major in the performing arts, encourage them to apply for the Don Bridge Memorial scholarship.
​
The 2026 application packet will become available after the first of the year.​​
