Space Subsidy Program
The Production Pipeline
Tuition for Professional Development
OUR MISSION:
Our mission is to secure and provide support to theatrical artists by providing access to professional mentorship, subsidized investments, and a supportive network infrastructure that can ignite the innovation of art.
Space Subsidy Program
The Space Subsidy Program provides affordable, accessible rehearsal space to writers, directors, choreographers, and other creative artists at highly subsidized rates. Grants are provided to rehearsal spaces so they can, in turn, offer studio rentals to qualifying artists at rates between $5-10/hour, allowing artists to focus on their creative work.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Foundation provides grants to the rehearsal space to enable the studio to offer low rental rates to qualified participants.
Production Pipeline:
The mission of NEW, NEXT, NOW is to produce a series of residencies, readings and high-quality, professional concert productions and support the development of new voices, new ideas, and new ways to create cross-generational conversations that celebrate, expand and diversify the musical theatre canon.
Built in partnership with the Fred Ebb Foundation, the Foundation is working to build a brand new pipeline for the next generation of theatre makers by forming strategic partnerships with industry professionals, regional theatres, resource companies, and other arts organizations around the country.
The Broadway Workroom Series is a groundbreaking new program to champion the arts and empower the development of theatrical artists and new works. This initiative provides creative teams with free studio space and technical support, culminating in concert presentations of the musicals.
Scholarships/Grants
The scholarship program provides tuition and scholarships to young developing artists (onstage and backstage) for university, college, summer programs, year-round programs removing the barrier so many face while in pursuit of artist development in the crafts of writing, directing, choreography, performance, production management for the theatre.
The Foundation also coordinates grants for young professionals to assist other professionals to observe the creative process and learn from the best in the industry.
PARTNERS INCLUDE:
Professional Development:
THE TIME STEP SYMPOSIUM brings together emerging music arranger/music directors and choreographers together for a series of lectures from Broadway's most prolific choreographers and dance arrangers. Through mentored assignments, different teams of Broadway veterans will illuminate the process of developing original dance music in an effort to inspire and preserve this important relationship between song and dance.
