Roxy Regional Theatre receives NEA Challenge America Fast-Track GrantRoxy Productions Inc. one of only 162 grantees nationwide
Roxy Productions Inc. (dba Roxy Regional Theatre) was selected to receive one of the 162 grants of $10,000 awarded to organizations in 46 states, plus the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Awarded funds will be used to support the Roxy Regional Theatre’s March/April 2012 production of The Red Badge of Courage, adapted by John McDonald from the novel by Stephen Crane. As the second installment in the Roxy’s four-year series commemorating The Sesquicentennial of The Civil War, performances will be targeted to military and student audiences. This is the Roxy’s third Challenge America Fast-Track Grant from the NEA, following awards in FY2009 and FY2011. “Taken together, these Challenge America Fast-Track grants provide an extraordinary sampling of the work that arts organizations do to reach underserved communities,” said Chairman Landesman. “With these grants, we are helping to ensure that art works for all Americans.”
The program is called Fast-Track because of its expedited review timeline. Roxy Productions Inc. was notified approximately six months after applying. Also, with 375 eligible applications submitted from across the country, there was significant competition for funding for these grants. Roxy Productions Inc.’s grant award is evidence of the artistic excellence and artistic merit of their production of The Red Badge of Courage.
