Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

TO PROVOKE, PRODUCE AND CULTIVATE THE WORK OF ARTISTS WHOSE VISIONS INSPIRE AND CHALLENGE ALL OF US.

Activities or mission (Part I)

NYTW IS DEDICATED TO EXPLORING AND PRESENTING THEATRICAL EXPERIENCES THAT REFLECT, RESPOND TO, AND INVIGORATE THE WORLD IN WHICH WE LIVE AND WORK.

  • Our 23/24 mainstage season showcased four new powerful and thought-provoking plays. Over the course of the season, we produced "THE REFUGE PLAYS" by Nathan Alan Davis, Hansol Jung's "MERRY ME", Mona Pirnot's "I LOVE YOU SO MUCH I COULD DIE", and "HERE THERE ARE BLUEBERRIES" by Moises Kaufman and Amanda Gronich. Over the course of 233 performances, we sold 30,897 tickets and offered 18,819 complimentary tickets. In tandem with our productions, our Artist Workshop Programs provided support to over 400 artists and supported 40 projects at various stages of development through a variety of initiatives. These include our Dorothy Strelsin Mondays @ 3 Readings, Summer Residencies at Dartmouth College and Adelphi University, Jonathan Larson developmental Labs, and play commissions. We also continued to support five emerging theater companies through our Companies-in-Residence program, offering them administrative resources, fiscal sponsorship, artistic feedback, professional mentorship, performance opportunities, and rehearsal space, as needed. Central to our programming are the 2050 Artistic and Administrative Fellowships which were inspired by the U.S. Census Bureau's projection that by 2050, the United States will no longer have a single racial or ethnic majority. Designed to support individuals from underserved backgrounds, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, physical ability, socio-economic status, and their intersections, the Fellowships aligns our Core Values with this vision of the future. This past year, the Artistic Fellowship supported six early-career artists with stipends, project development funds, artistic guidance, administrative assistance, and rehearsal space as they worked on presenting 1-2 new works-in-progress. In parallel, the Administrative Fellowship engaged eight aspiring arts administrators, providing them with hands-on experience in various projects that prepared them for professional roles in creative industries. These fellows earned $20 per hour for 30 hours of work per week and received valuable training, mentorship, and networking opportunities. NYTW's Education and Community Engagement programs also continued to make an impact by serving NYC public school students, elders, youth, and historically underrepresented communities. Our in-school theater residencies reached 1142 students in partnership with six NYC public schools. Over a total of 101 sessions, teaching artists focused on topics like improvisation, text analysis, August Wilson, and Shakespeare. They also took students to dedicated matinee performances of our mainstage productions featuring pre- and post-show workshops. Additionally, we engaged 13 elders (ages 60+) and 13 teens (ages 14-19) in two iterations of Mind the Gap, a program curated to promote intergenerational connections. We also invited 15 high school students to partake in our Youth Artistic Instigators program, a free after-school initiative where participants collaborate to write and perform an original theatrical work.

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Answered yes

  • 3 · Form 990 of other organizations
  • 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee

Answered no

  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement
  • 5a · Pay contingent on this organization's revenues
  • 5b · Pay contingent on a related organization's revenues
  • 6a · Pay contingent on this organization's net earnings
