About the company
Shakespeare Theatre Company, a Washington, DC-based tax-exempt nonprofit organization, receives project grants from the National Endowment for the Arts to support theatrical productions and operates as a prime grant recipient with occasional sub-award participation in FEMA disaster recovery projects.
Shakespeare Theatre Company's federal footprint centers entirely on arts and culture funding through NEA project grants. The organization has received four recent NEA grants for theatrical productions: a January 2026 grant supporting William Shakespeare's Othello (completion July 31, 2026), a January 2024 grant for The Lehman Trilogy by Stefano Massini (completed July 31, 2024), a January 2023 grant for The Jungle by Joe Robertson and Joe Murphy (completed July 31, 2023), and a January 2022 grant for Red Velvet by Lolita Chakrabarti (completed July 31, 2022). The National Endowment for the Arts accounts for 22 of the 36 total awards in the source data, reflecting the organization's primary mission alignment with federal arts funding. Two sub-awards derive from District of Columbia Government FEMA disaster recovery projects: Shakespeare Theater FEMA Project 1 (May 19, 2023) and Shakespeare Theater FEMA Project 2 (April 3, 2024). The organization has also received minor awards from the Department of State Foreign Service Institute, the Pretrial Services Agency, and the Department of Health and Human Services Food and Drug Administration, though these account for a small share of activity.
Award activity is minimal and sporadic — one award in 2021, one in 2022, two in 2023, two in 2024, and one in 2026 — with combined potential value across all 36 awards totaling only $39 thousand, though combined dollars obligated across all awards reached $13.2 million (a discrepancy driven by the structure of NEA grants, which report small potential values but carry obligated funding that reflects actual grant payments). One award faces completion within the next twenty-four months. As a prime recipient of 94% of awards, Shakespeare Theatre Company operates without federal contracts, focusing exclusively on grant funding for cultural and educational programming. The organization's NAICS categorization reflects its theater company operations, with supplementary funding categories including hotel and lodging services (likely related to artist accommodations or venue operations) and professional development training.
