A life-long musical theatre lover, Larson worked tirelessly to develop his own musical vision for the stage.
Jonathan Larson was a man who called the East Village home, relishing the bohemian life of downtown New York in the late eighties and early nineties.

The Jonathan Larson Grant is an unconditional annual investment in individual talent.
