Theatre Forward has a network of nonprofit theatres located in 19 cities across the country. Our theatres share many characteristics: independently determined programming, seasons of nine months or more, multiple stages, full-time professional staff and a record of artistic excellence.
Theatre Forward, formerly National Corporate Theatre Fund, was created in 1977 by our 10 founding member theatres. Our founding theatres each have a representative who serves on our Board of Directors, pay annual dues, and receive annual philanthropic support for general operations.
Beginning in 2006, an additional nine comparable theatres were brought on by the founding theatres to expand Theatre Forward’s reach in education and other initiatives.
Theatre Forward is not currently considering new theatre members at this time.
