|
The Tony Randall Theatrical Fund is a nonprofit institution that annually awards a prestigious $100,000 grant to support the innovative production of a classic play by a theatre company located in New York or the Tri-State area. In 2009 & 2010, we decided the Tony Randall Theatrical Fund would temporarily change its giving guidelines; rather than award $100,000 for the production of a classic play, we awarded $5,000 - $10,000 general operating support grants to 10 passionate, resourceful theater companies that continued to fulfill their mission despite financial constraints. |
