New Generations Program

Objective #1: Future Leaders

The New Generations Program was designed by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and TCG.

Early-career theatre professionals in any discipline are offered two-year paid ($35,000/year) mentorship positions at a theatre and are mentored by an established professional in their field. In addition, grants of up to $15,000 are available to repay a mentee's outstanding student loan debt.

Read what American Theatre says about the New Generations Program, in "Hot Seats and Safety Nets" (PDF) and "The Audience as Art" (PDF) by Suzanne M. Sato. You can also download the New Generations Booklet (PDF), which introduces the mentees of the fifth and sixth rounds of the program.
