Mission Statement
Theatre Development Fund, a not-for-profit organization, was created with the conviction that the live theatrical arts afford a unique expression of the human condition that must be sustained and nurtured. TDF’s twofold mission is to identify and provide support, including financial assistance, to theatrical works of artistic merit and to encourage and enable diverse audiences to attend live theatre and dance in all their venues.

New Audiences for New York
In 2009 TDF established New Audiences for New York, a program aimed at creating partnerships with a wide range of New York based organizations to expand our efforts to make theatre accessible to every New Yorker.

New Audiences is an opportunity for CUNY students and staff to build a relationship with TDF and the theatre community in NYC. We envision a partnership that empowers a wide-range of individuals in the CUNY community to take advantage of all the arts NYC has to offer.
