School theatre programs use box office proceeds to fund their next year’s shows. With schools closed and spring shows canceled, many school theatre programs are at risk of failing. Plus, with the massive cuts anticipated in state education budgets, arts and theatre programs will be at even greater risk.
These grants will be awarded to schools in most need, including Title 1 schools with significant student enrollments of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, as well rural and small schools with few or no support resources.
Schools may apply for one or both of these grants.
Thanks to Broadway Licensing for donating licenses to all grantees, and Concord Theatricals for sponsoring the Thespian Relief Grants issued in March 2021.
Broadway Licensing has provided free streaming licenses to all 114 schools who have received a grant.
Concord Theatricals is sponsoring an additional $7,500 in Thespian Relief Grants during March for Theatre in Our Schools Month.
