| Richard Rodgers Awards for Musical Theater | ||||
| These awards, created and endowed by Academician Richard Rodgers (1902-1979) for the development of musical theater, subsidize full productions, studio productions, and staged readings in New York City by nonprofit theaters of musical plays by composers and writers who are not already established in this field. These are the only awards for which the Academy accepts applications. More information is available here. | ||||
