NTP Creation + Touring finalists will be announced in the coming weeks; all 24 finalists are guaranteed funding in the form of either a $10,000 Artist Development grant or $110,000 Creation + Touring grant. We look forward to announcing finalists, and encourage folks to check out our 60 fabulous semifinalists for a sampling of what the world of devised, ensemble theater is bringing into 2025!
