Applications for the first annual T. Fellowship are now being accepted. The deadline is Thursday, February 1st, 2007.
The T. Fellowship is a one-year producing program. In the first phase, the fellow may take classes and apprentice/observe through placements in the field with working professionals. In addition, the fellow will be working to identify and develop a new theatrical production.
During the second phase of the Fellowship, the fellow will produce and present the work they have developed. The fellow will receive a stipend of $14,000, and a $20,000 budget for the development of the new work.
The T. Fellowship was created in an effort to help create a new generation of creative theatrical producers, those who initiate work from the ground up, following a path all their own. The T. Fellowship was created to honor the legacy of Broadway producer T. Edward Hambleton by supporting and developing gifted, emerging theatrical producers.
The T. Fellowship Committee members are
Harold Prince (Director/Producer), Ed Wilson (Teacher/Author/Critic),
Margo Lion (Producer), Jack O'Brien (Artistic Director, The Old Globe), Victoria Bailey (TDF Executive Director), Gregory Mosher (Director of The Columbia Arts Initiative) and Steven Chaikelson (Chair of The Theatre Division of the Columbia University School of the Arts).
Columbia University's School of the Arts runs the program, and the T. Fellowship Committee Members will serve as mentors to the selected fellow.
Applications and instructions are available online at
www.tfellowship.com. Final candidates will go through an interview process with the T. Fellowship committee in April and May of 2007. The first fellow, who will be known as the Geraldine Stutz Fellow, will be announced in spring of 2007, and the program will begin in September 2007.
