Purpose Of Funds
Purpose of funds is to assist in expense of rehearsal space and theatre rental for our Fall EATfest (90 artists), Spring EATfest(70 artists) and our Illuminating Artists - New Works Series (200 artists). The EATfests are new play festivals that run for two weeks that include short plays and workshops of full length works. The Illuminating Artists - New Works Series is a 3 week long festival with 4 different formats for artists to develop and premiere their work: One Woman Shows, One Man Shows, Short Form Musicals, and full length musicals. Last season these 3 programs put to work over 350 artists in NYC. Most of these artists come from varied backgrounds and cannot afford to develop and premiere their work. The artists come from a wide spectrum of ethnicity, gender, age, and religious backgrounds. The budget for these 3 programs was $70,000 last year.
