THEATRE AEZIR BURSARY – 2025

Theatre Aezir presents: Young Artist Bursary (Off the Wall)

In our ongoing effort to support young theatre artists (ages 16–30), Theatre Aezir is proud to continue its annual Educational Bursary in partnership with Off the Wall, Stratford Artists Alliance.

This year, we are offering $1000.00 to help a young artist further their education and hands-on experience in the theatre arts. The bursary will cover the full cost of one class offered by Off the Wall, with any remaining funds going toward living expenses.

Our goal is to help foster the growth of the next generation of theatre creators. Past bursary recipients have pursued studies in set design, costume design, set building, make-up design and application, prop making, and more.
