Berkshire Theatre Group Receives $45,000 Shubert Foundation Grant
Berkshire Theatre Group has announced that it was the recipient of a prestigious $45,000 grant from the New York-based Shubert Foundation. The Shubert Foundation provides grant support to theatres throughout the country.
Artistic Director/CEO Kate Maguire says, "We're deeply thankful to The Shubert Foundation for its grant to BTG. The special aspect of support from The Shubert Foundation is that their grants go directly to helping underwrite the work we produce on our stages. As leaders in the national theatre scene, they recognize the fundamental economics of the theatre business. We will put The Shubert Foundation grant to good use as we prepare to launch our 2016 Summer Season."
The Shubert Foundation, Inc. was established in 1945 by Lee and J.J. Shubert in memory of their brother Sam, and is the sole shareholder of The Shubert Organization, Inc., which currently owns/operates 21 theatres: 17 on Broadway, one off-Broadway theatre (The Little Shubert), and one each in Boston and Philadelphia.
