American Theatre Wing Invites Applications for Jonathan Larson Grants

The American Theatre Wing is accepting applications for the 2010 Jonathan Larson Grants. Originally administered by the Jonathan Larson Performing Arts Foundation (from 1997-2008), the grants are given annually to recognize emerging composers, lyricists, and bookwriters who work in musical theater.

The grants are intended for artists with a demonstrated commitment and dedication to a career in musical theater. Applicant artists should be working professionally in the field.

Individuals may apply as lyricists, composers, composer/lyricists, or composer/lyricist/bookwriters. Individual bookwriter applications are not accepted. Collaborative teams may apply together as composer and lyricist or composer, lyricist, and bookwriter. Collaborators who work together regularly are strongly encouraged to apply as a team.

United States citizenship is not a requirement to receive the grant, but applicants must be eligible to work in the U.S. and reside/work on at least a part-time basis. Submitted work should be predominately in English.

Grants provide unrestricted general support to assist recipients in their careers. Grants will be presented and recipients' work will be showcased for an invited industry audience in late winter 2010.

For complete guidelines and application materials, visit the American Theatre Wing Web site.
