The mission of the Bill Nunn Theatre Outreach Project (BNTOP), founded by the late film and stage actor Bill Nunn, is to create a platform for under-served public school students in the Pittsburgh region to gain access to theatre arts and work with seasoned professionals within the field.
The Bill Nunn Theatre Outreach Project is the presenter of the Pittsburgh regional August Wilson New Voices Competition which is open to high school students, 9-12, celebrating the life and works of August Wilson.
