The Five College Multicultural Theater Committee was created to encourage and support multicultural curricula and performance in the Five College community. Comprised of members of all five theater departments, the committee awards matching funds to help fund productions, newsletters, and honoraria for workshops and guest artists. Awards are normally no more than one-half the total budget for the event.

The projects requesting grants from the MTC should reflect a multicultural perspective and represent a theatrical work in areas of text, movement, design, or interdisciplinary performance.

Applications (in electronic form, preferably) to the Committee should include:

The name of the contact person – mailing address, phone number, email address.

A brief (one page or less) project description: dates/times/admission price for the event, if any, and, in the case of productions, dates and locations of auditions; intended audience; and publicity strategies. The description should also include a paragraph outlining the structure of the piece and the contemporary relevance of the project to the theme of multiculturalism and/or the multicultural community.

A project budget – expenses with breakdown by item.

A list of proposed and committed funding sources.

The amount requested from the committee. These are matching funds; the average award is $350.

Applications and questions about application procedure should be directed to the campus representative on the committee (see below).

If a project is funded, requests for payment should be sent to: Carol Aleman, Executive Assistant, Five Colleges, Inc., 97 Spring Street, Amherst, MA 01002.

The Five College Multicultural Theater Committee asks that all grant recipients acknowledge support from the Five College Multicultural Theater Committee in programs and publicity (e.g., Funded in part by the Five College Multicultural Theater Committee) and provide an itemized financial report of actual income and expenses.

Requests may be submitted any time up to the deadline of February 26, 2010 and will be considered as long as funds are available. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, but should be submitted no less than two weeks prior to the event or production.
