Gilman & Gonzalez-Falla Theatre Foundation

Gilman & Gonzalez-Falla Theatre Foundation give awards to new songwriters and book writers. The award was set in 1991 up by the American Theatre Wing Board Member, Sondra Gilman, and Texas Art Commissioner, Celso Gonzalez-Falla. The Musical Theatre Award is accompanied by a grant of $25,000. A number of smaller grants (between $1,000- $5,000) are also awarded at the ceremony. To qualify the "writers must have had at least one musical produced in either a commercial or a professional non-profit theatre in America."[1]
