Theatre Communications Group (TCG), the national organization for theatre, announces the second cycle of the Global Connections program recipients, the new international grant funded by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to build bridges and artistic collaborations between U.S. theatre professionals and counterparts abroad.
Denise Maroney (New York City) was awarded $10,000 to workshop an environmental play with Lucien Bourjeily and other Lebanese artists (Beirut, Lebanon), for their upcoming productions in fishing enclaves along the country's coast.
"We are inspired by these talented, forward-thinking artists, who are taking an active role within the international Theatre community-collaborating, experiencing new aesthetics and learning new practices-in order to better connect and engage with their local communities back home," said Teresa Eyring, executive director of Theatre Communications Group.
