Twenty five journalists have been chosen from 22 states to participate as fellows in the first National Endowment for the Arts Journalism Institute in Theater and Musical Theater. Through the generous support of the NEA, the Institute will be organized and conducted by USC Annenbergs School of Journalism from February 21 - March 4, 2005. The groundbreaking program is part of a $1 million NEA initiative to offer intensive training for theater critics and their editors who work outside the country's top three major theater centers.
