Human Race lands national grant
Dayton’s Human Race Theatre Company has landed a national grant for the second year in a row.
The troupe announced Friday, April 9, that it will receive a $10,000 production grant from the National Fund for New Musicals to support its presentation of the Gregg Coffin show “next to me” in spring 2011.
The musical about a military wife’s struggles when her husband is sent to Iraq had its start in a Human Race workshop in 2009.
The grant is a coup for Human Race managing director Kevin Moore, who has built a reputation for nurturing new musicals in Dayton. Coffin’s shows “Convenience” and “Five-Course Love” were also produced by the company.
The National Fund is a program of the National Alliance for Musical Theatre. The Human Race also received a $10,000 grant for its 2009 workshop of “The Trimble Wars” and helped develop a third musical that has earned funding, “A Christmas Memory,” due for production at Theatreworks in Palo Alto, Calif.
