When the Prinzregententheater is not being used for its own productions, the Theaterakademie rents the building to cooperation partners and Munich concert promoters. The income from renting finances about 12 percent of the academy’s total budget. Supporter of the Bayerische Theaterakademie August Everding is the Free State of Bavaria, represented by the Bavarian State Ministry of Education.
