Grants Enable Experimental Theater Productions
by Kristen Jones 23 Mar '23

23 Mar '23

Venturous Theater Fund's Venturous Capital Grants support the production of venturous new plays at small and medium-sized theaters in the United States. Grants support text-based, author-driven new plays that are challenging in form, controversial in subject matter, ambitious in scale or scope, unabashedly theatrical, or experimental in concept. Funding is provided for extraordinary costs that are integral to the plays' production, and which might otherwise make them difficult or impossible to produce. Funded productions must be produced in the United States by a small or medium-sized nonprofit (or fiscally sponsored) theater, offer reasonable compensation to the author, be produced under an AEA collective bargaining agreement with a minimum of two performers employed on an AEA contract, and be full productions open to the general public for a run of at least 13 performances. Grants range from $5,000 to $30,000, with grants above $25,000 awarded only in extraordinary circumstances. Letters of inquiry are reviewed twice a year; the 2023 deadlines are June 1 and December 1. Visit the Fund's website Venturous Capital Grants (venturoustheaterfund.org) to review the requirements for the Venturous Capital Grants.

SOMETHING ROTTEN! at SIHS
by Amanda Martin 22 Mar '23

22 Mar '23

*Created by Grammy Award-winning songwriter Wayne Kirkpatrick, and successful screenwriters Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell, Something Rotten was lauded by audience members and critics alike, receiving several Best Musical nominations and hailed by Time Out New York as "the funniest musical comedy in at least 400 years".Set in the 1590s, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as "The Bard." When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first musical. But amidst the scandalous excitement of opening night, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the top means being true to thine own self, and all that jazz.* Come see *Something Rotten!* performed by the Saint Ignatius High School Harlequins. The show runs March 24-26, 31st, and April 1st. Tickets can be found here <https://www.ignatius.edu/students/extracurriculars/drama>. *Grade school students can enter free at the box office!* -- Amanda Martin, B.A. *Theology Department* *Harlequins Drama Director* *Co-Moderator: Labre Ministry to the Homeless * P: 216-651-0222 ext. 4802 amartin(a)ignatius.edu <afior(a)ignatius.edu> www.ignatius.edu Saint Ignatius High School 1911 West 30th St. Cleveland, OH 44113
