Theater Latte DA

Theater Latte DA is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, that has been registered to receive federal awards since July 2009. The organization operates as a corporate entity focused on supporting and producing theatrical works, specifically new musical theater productions. As a nonprofit arts organization, Theater Latte DA provides cultural and artistic programming through federal grant support from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA).

Theater Latte DA has received five prime federal project grants from the National Endowment for the Arts spanning from 2021 through 2026, demonstrating a consistent pattern of federal funding support for its artistic initiatives. The organization's grant-funded work has primarily centered on supporting the development and presentation of new musical theater works, which represents the core mission reflected in four of its five awarded grants. Most notably, the organization received a three-year project grant beginning in June 2021 to support a production of "Broadbend, Arkansas," a musical with book and music by composers Harrison David Rivers and Ted Shen, with that project extending through August 2023. Additionally, Theater Latte DA has received successive annual project grants beginning in January 2023 specifically designated to support festivals of new musical theater and new work, with awards spanning from 2023 through 2026. The most recent grant, awarded on January 1, 2026, is currently active with a completion date of September 30, 2026. All funding has been provided through NEA project grant assistance, with no prime or sub-awardee partners identified in the available grant records. Theater Latte DA's track record demonstrates specialization in producing and supporting contemporary musical theater development and festival programming as its primary service delivery mechanism through federal grant awards.
