APPLICATIONS AVAILABLE FOR THEATER RENTAL SUBSIDY PROGRAM

Launching in January 2009, the program will help choreographers, companies, and presenters access venues that they would otherwise not be able to afford. Dance/USA Philadelphia will subsidize 75% to 90% of theater rental costs for producing non-profit dance companies and organizations from the five-county Philadelphia region. Student ensembles are not eligible. Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis beginning December 1, 2008, and funds will be distributed on a first come, first served basis. Participating venues will provide marketing support through such avenues as inclusion in season brochures and playbills, promotion through websites and emails, and promotional materials distributed to theater patrons. For an application contact admin@danceusaphiladelphia.org. Interested candidates are encouraged to meet with Director Lois Welk prior to application.
