Creative Cauldron Stage Receives $15,000 Shubert Foundation Grant for New Works

Creative Cauldron Stage has received a $15,000 grant from the Shubert Foundation, which directs funding toward not-for-profit, professional theatres with an emphasis on producing, rather than presenting, organizations. The Shubert Foundation is especially interested in providing support to professional resident theatre and dance companies that develop and produce new American work.

“We are proud of our Bold New Works for Intimate Stages” and Bold New Voices initiatives which have allowed us to develop new works by underrepresented artists. And to have many of those productions go on to have subsequent performances across the country and the world, has been a thrill. We are honored that the Shubert Foundation has recognized our hard work,” said Founding Artistic Director Laura Connors Hull.

In addition, the Shubert Foundation recognizes theaters who excel in arts education and community engagement. The Learning Theater Ensemble is an inclusive multi-generational program providing students grades 3 and up the opportunity to team up with professional actors and directors to learn the craft of acting. “Our Learning Theater Ensemble offers an intensive experience for young people that is unmatched by any other program in the area,” said Connors Hull.

This new location at Broad and Washington will give Creative Cauldron a permanent home for the next 30 years, making a cultural anchor to a comprehensively planned arts and entertainment district that can appeal to people of all ages, incomes, and cultures.
