Theatre
Robert Zukerman, Senior Program Officer (212) 741-7077 NYSCA offers support to professional theatre companies with ongoing production and development programs, and to service organizations that build and reinforce administrative and institutional skills, provide resources and information, assist in the professional development of artists, and enhance education about and access to theatre for all audiences. Funding reflects the importance and validity of a full range of theatrical expression; that is, traditional forms (classic, contemporary and musical theatre) and experimentation that crosses disciplinary boundaries toward the creation of new forms of theatrical experience. We encourage performances that reach under-served audiences and constituencies, activities that provide opportunities for diverse artists and administrators, and imaginative approaches to theatre for young audiences. Proposals that are creative and experimental in their use of new technology are welcomed. Applicants may make only ONE request under the discipline of Theatre. Applicants are welcome and encouraged to contact staff before the registration deadline. Organizations requesting support for Theatre Artist Commissions should refer to the Individual Artists guidelines. Prerequisites Applicants must be able to document payment to artistic personnel in their budgets. Producing organizations must offer seasonal production activity that is open to the general public and may include main-stage performances, readings and developmental workshops. Priority will be given to main-stage production activity. Theatre support will not be available for community theatre, commercial or student productions, carnivals, sideshows, parades, variety shows, or drama therapy programs. Evaluative Criteria Grant requests are evaluated in accordance with agency-wide criteria. Artistic Evaluation NYSCA must be able to evaluate an applicant's artistic quality on an ongoing basis. It is the responsibility of all current and prospective applicants to inform staff of productions or relevant events well in advance of the event date. This is required so that staff, advisory panelists, or auditors may attend and evaluate the events. Email notification is welcome at tht@nysca.org. NYSCA believes in honoring aesthetic and artistic excellence that reflects creative diversity without cultural boundaries and an evaluation process that embraces the widest spectrum of cultural expression offered to the public, in a broad array of settings and contexts -- from classrooms and community centers, to parks and open spaces, to more traditional venues. NYSCA celebrates artistic pluralism and welcomes requests from organizations serving all of the communities that make up New York State. These include the physically challenged, immigrants and other communities with special needs.
