The National Theater Project Presenter Travel Grant provides financial assistance to support travel that promotes the touring and advancement of projects funded by the National Theater Project (NTP). The grant is intended for arts presenters, curatorial staff, and NTP Creation and Touring Grant recipients, enabling them to meet with potential presenters, bring in press or critics, attend conferences, or participate in other activities that raise the profile of NTP-backed ensemble theater projects. By reimbursing a portion of travel costs, the program aims to strengthen connections within the national theater community and increase the visibility of devised ensemble theater across the United States.
