The Alec Baldwin Fellowship at the Singers Forum

This comes as New York City continues to witness an unprecedented loss of 25% of it's Off-Off-Broadway theater spaces (since 2007).

In an effort to combat this, The Singers Forum - along with Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning actor/producer Alec Baldwin - has drawn from it's long and illustrious 33-year history to create The Alec Baldwin Fellowship at the Singers Forum. Providing community and support for this endangered population of artists, The Alec Baldwin Fellowship at the Singers Forum will be a year-long program devoted to the development and advancement of groundbreaking and original Theatrical Works. With the assistance of Mr. Baldwin, we will provide professional mentorship, fine-pointed dramaturgy, and a rigorous, individualized workshopping process for each chosen Project. Culminating in the Fellowship Festival, where each piece is presented as a staged backer's auditions, our goal is to create four pieces ready for full off-Broadway or Broadway productions by the Summer of 2013.
