Susan-
For my odder stuff and some of the adult shows I have worked on I  
have gotten grant money from various places to produce the show. Many  
times the place that the performance takes place gives me the seed  
money. In other cases the producer has gotten some form of corporate  
sponsorship. I remember having to promote Shasta products before a  
show. Sometimes the money comes from the government but for me that  
is rare. The biggest problem about getting grant money is the number  
of hoops they make you jump through to get the funds. Also sometimes  
there are some very strange strings attached to the money. The  
paperwork alone can drive you crazy. At the Yale School of Drama one  
of the courses offered to the students is a one semester course on  
grant writing. One of the best classes I took there in terms of  
practicality later.
Hope this helps-
Kath
