Theatre Forward’s mission is to advance American theatre and its communities.  We achieve our mission by providing funding and other resources to the country’s leading nonprofit theatres.
Theatre Forward Vision Statement
Theatre Forward will increase access and opportunity for all to experience theatre that builds community and sets the stage for individual achievement. Our focus will be twofold: advancing strong theatre and educating through theatre.
Theatre Forward is an association of institutional nonprofit theatres located in 19 cities across the country. Our theatres share many characteristics: independently determined programming, seasons of nine months or more, multiple stages, a full time professional staff and a record of artistic excellence.
Theatre Forward, formerly National Corporate Theatre Fund, was created in 1977 by our 10 founding member theatres.  Founding theatres each have a representative who serves on our Board of Directors, pay annual dues and receive annual philanthropic support for general operations.  Beginning in 2006, an additional nine comparable theatres were brought on by the founding theatres to expand Theatre Forward’s reach in education and other initiatives.
