The National Foundation for Musical
THE NATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR MUSICAL THEATRE IS A COMMUNITY OF PRODUCERS, INSTITUTIONS, AND MUSICAL THEATRE ENTHUSIASTS SUPPORTING THE DEVELOPMENT, PRODUCTION, AND APPRECIATION OF MUSICAL THEATRE. WE UNDERSTAND THAT IT OFTEN TAKES HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO DEVELOP A SINGLE MUSICAL. TRY TO MOVE THAT SHOW TO BROADWAY AND IT CAN TAKE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS MORE. WHILE THIS IS TYPICALLY MORE THAN ONE PERSON OR INSTITUTION CAN AFFORD ON THEIR OWN, IF WE POOL OUR RESOURCES, TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A TREMENDOUS IMPACT.
