NATIONAL THEATRE CRITICISM/AFFLILATED WRITERS PROGRAM
In 1989, with the support of the Jerome Foundation, TCG launched the National Theatre Criticism/Affiliated Writers Program to help young writers from Minnesota and New York develop careers in arts journalism. The program has enabled American Theatre magazine to greatly expand its coverage of the national theatre scene while simultaneously encouraging a new generation of cultural reporters and critics. The four writers selected in 2004-2005 have contributed five articles to date – with two additional articles scheduled for publication in 2005-2006 – adding a variety of perspectives to the magazine.
