A major priority of CTFA is supporting theatre for youth which clearly recognizes diversity, equity, and inclusion that is important to the future of theatre for young audiences.
Harris grants are named for and funded by the author royalties of Aurand Harris, one of the nation’s most published and performed playwrights for children and youth. Harris (1916-1996) had a deep appreciation for artists, particularly playwrights, who devoted their careers to creating quality theatre for young audiences, and for theatres who produce work for children and youth.
These grants and fellowships are designed to benefit the field of theatre for children and youth, to provide growth opportunities for theatre artists developing work for the young, to support the mission and values of CTFA, and to honor the intentions of Aurand Harris.
