Grant Station | Venturous Theater Fund: Venturous Capital Grants | Venturous Theater Fund’s Venturous Capital Grants support the production of bold, experimental new plays at small and medium-sized theaters in the United States. Funding is limited to text-based, author-driven new plays that are ambitious in scale, epic in scope, challenging in form, controversial in subject matter, experimental in concept, and/or unabashed in their theatricality. The grants fund extraordinary costs that are integral to the plays’ production, and which might otherwise make them difficult or impossible to produce. Funded projects must offer reasonable compensation to the author, be produced under an AEA collective bargaining agreement with a minimum of two AEA performers on contract, and be full productions open to the general public for a run of at least 13 performances. Professional nonprofit theaters with 501(c)3 status (or fiscally sponsored by a 501(c)(3) organization) and annual budgets of under $5 million are eligible to submit LOIs.
