NEA/TCG Theatre Residency Program for Playwrights
The NEA/TCG Theatre Residency Program for Playwrights has been sunset and no future rounds of this program will be offered.
Description
The NEA/TCG Theatre Residency Program for Playwrights, jointly developed by Theatre Communications Group and the National Endowment for the Arts, afforded playwrights the opportunity to create new plays in residence at a host theatre and to become an integral part of the theatre's artistic life and community activities. The Theatre Residency Program for Playwrights placed playwrights at the center of the creative process, adding artistic depth to institutions and bringing the writer and community together.
Playwright residences were made possible by major support from the National Endowment for the Arts, and were supported, in part, by The Ford Foundation's New Works Program. Playwrights received $25,000 each in support of the residencies. In addition, host theatres were provided with $4,500 each to enhance their ability to support the work of the resident playwright.
