American Theatre Wing Grant Programs

The American Theatre Wing invests financial and educational support in creative artists destined to make theatre. The organization offers multiple grant and fellowship programs designed to support theatre artists at various stages of their careers. These include the Jonathan Larson Grants for emerging musical theatre writers (composers, lyricists, and librettists), The Andrew Lloyd Webber Initiative providing theatre education to students at all levels through individual and institutional giving, the National Theatre Company Grants supporting regional theatre companies in presenting work by living American playwrights, and The Gavin Creel Fellowships supporting emerging theatre makers through mentorship, training, networking, and performances. These programs collectively aim to bring theatre into the lives of diverse young people across the nation while supporting both individual artists and theatre institutions. The American Theatre Wing, known for presenting the Tony Awards and Obie Awards, has a long history of fostering talent in the American theatre community.
