Actor's Express Receives $13,500 from Fulton County Board of Commissioners

Actor's Express has received a Contract for Services in the amount of $13,500 from the Fulton County Board of Commissioners for its programming in 2015. Fulton County believes the arts are essential to the quality of life of its citizens and to the economic and social health of our communities. Its mission is to insure all citizens' access to the arts. Managing Director Alex Scollon comments, "Actor's Express is honored to be located in a county that supports and understands the value of the arts. The support of the county as well as donation from other foundations, government agencies and individuals are critical to continuing our mission, as only 50% of our operating expenses are covered by ticket sales." During the remainder of 2015, Actor's Express will produce main stage productions of Rent, Stupid F*cking Bird, The Thrush & the Woodpecker and Blackberry Winter as well as its new play festival Threshold.

Since our founding in 1988, we have sought to nurture the next generation of playwrights through workshops, readings, and full productions of new plays; to develop and nurture Atlanta's artistic community through theatre training; to catalyze the dialogue essential to the vitality of our neighborhood and our city; and to enhance Atlanta's reputation nationally as a thriving center for live performance.

Actor's Express is located on the west side of Atlanta in the King Plow Arts Center at 887 W. Marietta Street, Suite J-107, Atlanta, Georgia 30318.
