We support the missions of Venue Actor Studio and The Haven of RCS.
Please help us support these local organizations.
EVERY ACTOR starts somewhere. Here in Pinellas County, Florida The Venue Actor Studio 
has been dedicated to training actors in Tampa Bay since 1992 and is a not for profit corporation solely supported by the fees paid by members. We are still the most cost effective training available, our success is unparalleled by any other training program in the area. Our goal is the success of our members, no matter if their aspirations are toward professional or amateur work, personal growth, or having fun with performing arts.
WE ALSO need to bring another place to your attention. Unfortunately, sometimes life is not a box of chocolates. As actors have the compulsion to act “because they have to” so does The Haven of RCS exist. Because it has to.
The Haven of RCS was founded in 1980 to provide safe housing and outreach services to survivors of domestic violence. This year we will provide domestic violence support, prevention, and education services to 24,000 people in North Pinellas County.
The Haven of RCS provides safety, support and education to anyone impacted by domestic violence and advocates for social change to end the violence.
