The Theatre Communications Group is accepting applications to the New Generations — Future Collaborations program, which awards unrestricted travel grants of up to $6,000 to theaters and individual theater professionals to enable them to collaborate and share ideas with their colleagues abroad.

Applications will be accepted from theater professionals and theater companies wishing to share ideas and techniques and/or collaborate with colleagues from around the world. Grants will support unrestricted international travel by theater professionals working in all aspects of theater.

Applicant companies must have 501(c)(3) status, be located within the United States or its territories, employ full-time salaried professional artists and administrators, and have a minimum of three years’ prior existence as a nonprofit professional theater organization. Consortiums and educational institutions are not eligible to apply. Applicant theater professionals must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. and have a minimum of five years’ experience working in the professional not-for-profit theater field.

The TCG New Generations Program is designed to serve producing theater organizations and not other organizations whose primary mission is audience development, advocacy, or other service-related goals. However, the grants panel will consider applications in the Future Leaders category from non-producing organizations that are actively engaged in the development of new theatrical work as well as new artists.

Grants may cover transportation, out-of-town living expenses, and other expenses essential to collaboration such as research materials, communication costs, theater tickets, and/or the services of an interpreter.
