GoFundMe was created to help a Shreveport acting studio that had to close its operations

A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to help a Shreveport acting studio that was forced to close its doors last week.

Northwood Acting Studio has been mentoring aspiring actors in Northwest Louisiana for eight years. During its tenure, its mission has been to nurture and develop local and regional talent by providing a platform for aspiring actors.

The acting studio was located in the city’s Millennium Studios.

In April 2024, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson leased Millennium Studios from the city for 30 years at an annual rate of $2,400. This lease resulted in the cessation of current operations at Millennium Studios.

On Thursday, June 20, Kruithof announced this with an emotional video on Facebook.

The Northwood Acting Studio has been in operation since May 2016.

The GoFundMe campaign was launched on June 26 by Terry Nelson on behalf of the students and community supporters of Northwood Acting Studio. Nelson wrote on the page:

“We hope to find a permanent location to ensure that Northwood Acting Studio remains a mainstay for Shreveport’s active and aspiring actors. But with our financial help, Garrett can at least sign a new lease and purchase the furniture and equipment that was included in the old lease and get back on his feet.“

Garrett Kruithof, actor and owner of Northwood Acting Studio, wrote on Facebook: “I am overwhelmed by Terry and everyone else at Northwood Acting Studio who helped organize this.”

He continued: “We are all in this together. Look out for those who are brave enough to walk the same path as you and those who simply support you along the way. No one can look out for others like we can.”
