About Alabama Shakespeare Festival
Alabama Shakespeare Festival, a Montgomery, Alabama-based nonprofit organization, is a federal grant recipient that receives project grants from the National Endowment for the Arts to fund theatrical productions and arts education programming. The organization operates as a prime recipient on 95% of its federal awards, with a single sub-grant award.
Alabama Shakespeare Festival's federal footprint is narrowly concentrated within the arts and cultural sector. The National Endowment for the Arts accounts for 15 of the 19 total federal awards in the source data, covering specific production support and personnel expenses. The Appalachian Regional Commission rounds out the customer set with 3 awards. Across NEA grants, Alabama Shakespeare Festival receives project-grant funding under the Promotion of the Arts Grants to Organizations and Individuals program (CFDA 45.024) to support theatrical productions and artist fees. Named grants include a March 2026 project grant to support production of "Recon$truxion" by Robert Schenkkan, a January 2025 award for actor and director fees in "Kudzu Calling" by Donnetta Lavinia Grays, a January 2023 grant for artist fees supporting "Jubilee" by Tazewell Thompson, a $150,000 January 2022 grant to cover personnel expenses as the organization recovered from COVID-19, and a January 2022 award supporting artist fees for "Freedom Rider," a new play developed collaboratively.
Combined federal dollars obligated across all awards total $4.2 million over the source period (2008–2026). Activity has been sparse in recent years — the organization received awards in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, but at a rate of roughly one award per year since 2023. In its single sub-grant role, an October 2024 sub-award describes Alabama Shakespeare Festival's plans to produce seven plays in fiscal year 2025, including "Hamlet," "Dear Jack, Dear Louise," "A Christmas Carol," "The Watsons Go to Birmingham," "Sherwood," "Kudzu Calling," and "The Wizard of Oz," alongside comprehensive arts education programming including student matinees (SchoolFest), in-school Shakespeare instruction (Fall Festival of Shakespeare), playwriting instruction for high school students (Young Southern Writers Project), adult and student acting classes (ASF Academy), summer theatrical camps, community outreach, and the Southern Writers Festival, which commissions and develops new plays on Southern themes.
