For The Makers

Growing Together.

We want to give you the tools you need to succeed and work cooperatively to sustain theatre.

TDF National
Audience Research

As part of TDF’s commitment to supporting theatre makers, we periodically engage in research related to our fields of interest. We commission some research ourselves and in other instances we partner with our colleagues in performing arts service organizations across the country. Our primary area of research relates to audience development and looks to answer questions about how to increase audiences for live performing arts.

TDF Training And Professional Development

As a service organization, TDF is committed to sharing its programmatic expertise to strengthen the skills of individuals working in education and the performing arts field. In addition, we help organizations implement more inclusive and accessible programming.
