CPT ANNOUNCES APPLICATIONS FOR
PREMIERE FELLOWSHIP
With the support of Cuyahoga Arts & Culture (CAC), Cleveland Public Theatre (CPT) is proud to launch the Premiere Fellowship to support five local theatre artists from the disciplines of acting, directing, playwriting, design, and stage management. Fellows will receive a $5,000 cash award, fees for project-based work, professional development, and access to space, equipment, and other important assets needed to make their art. Each fellow will work on CPT premiere productions, and playwrights will receive a workshop of their own work.

As part of the Fellowship, CPT will pair artists with career-advancing connections including potential mentors, collaborators, and peers, and CPT will seek to connect artists to the national field. Our comprehensive selection process will evaluate the artist’s history of creating work, current career trajectory, and potential fit for this particular fellowship. We will select recipients based on our definition of excellence: artists creating transformative and impactful experiences for their intended communities. Through this fellowship, artists will gain vital, career-advancing experience, connections, and mentorship.

We know from experience that substantial financial awards to individual artists have a massive impact on that artist and on our community. The entire community benefits from investments like this—and we are so grateful to CAC for helping us make this happen.

Check out our website for more information about the Fellowship and the application<https://www.cptonline.org/news/uncategorized/cpt-premiere-fellowship/> —we can’t wait to see what the incredible artists in our community will do!
