Mission

The Classical Theatre of Harlem is a not-for-profit professional theatre company

  • The Classical Theatre of Harlem has four programs: an indoor season; an outdoor season; Project Classics; and a Reading Series: Future Classics & Playwrights' Playground. Our indoor season consists of theatrical productions -- usually a classic and a contemporary play. Our outdoor season is a partnership with the City Parks Foundation and usually includes the presentation of a single play at Marcus Garvey Park. Project Classics is a program that introduces theater skills to young people who live in upper Manhattan, generally above 96th Street. The two reading series present plays that have not yet been produced, and are at various stages of artistic development.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
