Student Productions
Students are encouraged to create and present their own work through an application process that provides space, faculty support, and funding.
Performing Arts Student Activity Fund Grant
Students can create and present their own work with the support of the SAF Performing Arts Fund, which provides space, faculty support, and funding for eligible theatre projects. Awards are usually in the $1000 range and can be used to pay for royalties, production materials, and technical support.
At the beginning of each academic year the Hunter College Performing Arts Office accepts online applications for individual student projects in the performing arts for the upcoming fall and spring semester. Grants are in the $1000 range and can be used to produce a play, project, or to bring in a guest artist to offer workshops or master classes. Other ideas will be considered, but projects must take place at Hunter College and offered free to the community. Students interested in submitting a proposal should choose and work with a faculty member who will be the project adviser to develop the written project proposal.
In the past these projects have included both published plays and original works such as one-person/solo shows, musicals, one-acts, cabarets, site-specific works, found text projects, and new scripts that are developed/performed with student directors, actors, and designers.
