Fortune Theatre Emerging Artist Scholarship recipients (from left) Bryn Monk, Nic Laughton, Rose Pickard and Sophie Morris stand tall in Dunedin yesterday.

Theatre artistic director Jonathon Hendry said the scholarships aim to bring emerging practitioners into the development and performance of a professional, mainstage production at the Dunedin theatre.

The other practitioners selected were Max Beal, Summer Millet, Joe Witkowski and Sophie Wright.

During their time at the theatre, the recipients would hone their skills in rehearsal and in performance and receive classes and individual coaching, Mr Hendry said.

The recipients were performing in the theatre's musical production Into the Woods, which runs until August 26.

Miss Morris said the run started on Saturday and attracted a ''full house''.

''It's been great.''

The theatre is running a Boosted crowd-funding campaign, attempting to raise $10,000 to support the recipients while working on the production.
