Our Mission

The Musical Dramatic Arts Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting the development and production impact of musical dramas with inspirational themes, such as hope, courage, resilience, justice, and the transformational power of love.

We believe producing these works within an accessible, growth-oriented, community context inspires individuals to overcome antagonism in their own lives, and empowers them to impact, enrich, and revitalize their communities.

Our Approach

We are exploring pathways for works outside of the existing capital-driven or classical theatre models by...

Establishing production and philanthropy partnerships and building an ecosystem of community, arts, and educational leaders.

Adapting productions to create innovating access for all community members.

Developing and co-producing inspirational and artistically excellent new works.

Creating growth-oriented community outreach, educational, and leadership initiatives.

Giving

This year, we have four new works in our production pipeline that reframe narratives of hope, healing, reconciliation and resilience. As we develop these productions, we are launching accompanying educational and community outreach initiatives in New York City, Charlotte, Atlanta, and beyond.

We invite you to join us in transforming communities through the arts.

It's more than musical drama,

it's a movement.
