In this Saturday, Jan. 24, 2015, a tutor instructs young actors during the rehearsal of a play as part of Kevin Spacey Foundation Home Grown initiative supporting local talent and supported by the Sharjah Institute of Theatrical Arts, in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. Kevin Spacey skipped the SAG awards to watch 34 young aspiring actors from across the Arab world perform a play. After two weeks of intensive training, the actors performed a play set in a fictional refugee camp where issues of poverty, corruption, love and hope were acted out on a theater before an intimate gathering that included the ruler of the emirate of Sharjah. The cast, all 25 years-old or younger, hail from war-torn Syria, Egypt, Yemen, Lebanon and across the Arab world, and for many it was the first time they had ever left their home countries or been given support to hone their craft.
