Clubbed Thumb is delighted to announce that it has recently been awarded multi-year support for artistic initiatives from the prestigious Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

The Theater Program of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation "seeks to fund leading theaters of all sizes that contribute to the advancement or preservation of theater as an art form and which are characterized by distinctive and ambitious artistic programming, a commitment to artists, intellectual relevance, and the capacity to engage audiences. Its goals are to help artistic leaders who are "swimming upstream" to continue to take artistic risks; to support processes that will improve the quality of work being produced; and to support collaborations between organizations that develop, premiere, and mount second and third productions of a work. It also endeavors to support long-term commitments to artists by institutions."
