Just after 8 p.m. Friday, Lisa Adler, co-founder of Horizon Theatre Company , received an email, alerting her that Horizon would not be receiving a $30,000 National Endowment for the Arts grant that had been awarded in November 2024 for a festival happening next month.
The grant had been awarded to fund the theater’s June 1-7 “New South Young Playwright’s Festival,” which for years has received NEA grants. The program fosters the development of the next generation of playwrights and screenwriters.
