Stephen M. Hoenig Memorial Actors Fund
The Stephen M. Hoenig Memorial Actors Fund was established in 1992 by Ann Hoenig and Jonathan Hoenig in honor of their beloved son and brother, Stephen.Stephen was a theater student in New York when a tragic accident caused his untimely death at the age of 19. He was keenly aware that even the most talented young actors might never get the recognition they deserve because of lack of financial resources. In establishing this Fund, they hope to pass on Stephen's strong spirit and dedication to his craft as well as help another student in the pursuit of his or her dream.
This stipend is awarded annually to a second semester college Junior majoring in Theater who demonstrates potential for professional advancement and financial need.
The $3,000 award is to be used for travel costs, head shots, scripts, materials for auditions, classes for further professional development and related expenditures. The goal is to assist promising young artists in establishing a career in the theater or theater arts.
