Affiliated Writers Program

Description

American Theatre's Affiliated Writers Program for early-career arts writers was designed to stimulate high quality cultural reporting, feature writing and theatre criticism that breaks past its own boundaries: 1) the geographical restrictions most theatre writers face, limited by economics to working in local areas of the country and 2) the narrow confines of theatre "reviewing"—too often treated as judgment for judgment's sake. This program is only open to New York City and Minnesota residents.

Winners receive $3,000 to write three to four feature articles for American Theatre, or their equivalent, over the course of a year. Travel expenses for agreed upon projects are also covered.

The program is supported by the Jerome Foundation.
