"His approach to theatre was enthusiastic and inspirational ... I particularly loved how he allowed actors to experiment in workshops. I can remember he'd always have a wry smile, him watching and saying go for it!" - Al Pacino

"His contributions to Broadway and off-Broadway are immeasurable both in the productions he created, and the talent that he nurtured." - Charlotte St. Martin, executive director of The Broadway League

The Theodore Mann Scholarship is a fitting way to remember the Circle in the Square co-founder, who throughout his more than 50-year producing and directing career was known for discovering and developing new talent, including many performers who went on to stellar careers. The Scholarship winner will be announced on June 26th.

"Those of us who have joined the Circle over the years have been privileged to partake of Theodore Mann's extraordinary vision and to glory in his stunning contributions to American Theatre." - Ruby Dee

Circle in the Square Theater School is the only conservatory in a Broadway theater. Classes take place alongside professional productions (currently playing: Lady Day at Emerson's Bar & Grill, starring five-time Tony winner and 2014 nominee Audra McDonald), sharing Circle in the Square's extraordinary Broadway stage.

"Every actor is a chameleon with many characters deep within."- Theodore Mann
