TUSCALOOSA, AL – Theatre Tuscaloosa has received two grants totaling $22,800 from the Alabama State Council on the Arts to fund the 2026-27 Season: Thrills and Chills and for administrative support.
With these funds, Theatre Tuscaloosa can produce a full season of plays and musicals. Theatre Tuscaloosa’s mission to improve the quality of life in West Alabama by producing world-class theatrical and educational programs is amplified by this grant. Theatre Tuscaloosa is making Alabama’s communities stronger and our state’s arts and culture sector more vibrant.
“This support is vital to keeping live theatre thriving in our region,” Executive Producer Michael Walker said. “This funding allows us to raise the bar on production values and bring a dynamic lineup of stories to life on our stage this year.”
The Council on the Arts is the official state agency for the support and development of the arts in Alabama. The Council works to expand and preserve the state’s cultural resources by supporting nonprofit arts organizations, schools, colleges, units of local government, and individual artists. Arts programs, assisted by Council grants, have a track record of enhancing community development, education, cultural tourism, and overall quality of life in all regions of the state.
