New play production, new play development, and community engagement/access.

  • New Play Production: Woolly Mammoth produces and presents 6-10 productions a year, bringing in 50,000 people each season. Woolly is one of America's few major theaters devoted entirely to new work. Our premieres have gone on to be produced at more than 200 theaters in 39 states and 12 countries. 2024-2025: SEASON 45 ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha - Julia MasliThe Comeuppance - Branden Jacobs JenkinsThe Ford/Hill Project - Lee Sunday Evans and Elizabeth MarvelDance Like There's Black People Watching - The Second CityGUAC - Manuel OliverIt's a MotherF**king Pleasure - FlawBored Akira Kurosawa Explains His Movies & Yogurt (with Live & Active Cultures) - Julia IzumiPride Plays - with Pride Plays and Rattlestick Theater

    Expenses $3,535,965 · Revenue $1,007,048

  • Community Engagement/Access: Woolly Mammoth's nationally acclaimed Connectivity department was founded in 2009 to link its artistic mission to its social, civic and political one. It is integral to all of the theatre's work and enhances the total theatrical experience of Woolly Mammoth for all who encounter it. Connectivity represents the potential and ambition of Woolly Mammoth to be a place for people to come and engage with the most thought-provoking and challenging questions of our time. The work of Connectivity rests on four pillars: community engagement, audience engagement, audience development, and learning. Woolly Mammoth's core values of radical inclusion and anti-racism are at the center of this work.

    Expenses $269,898 · Revenue $23,177

  • New Play Development: Woolly Mammoth is committed to the development of new plays, with a unique process specifically designed to bring each project to fruition. This might include workshops, readings, research trip, or a combination thereof, depending on the needs of each play and creatives. A fully staffed artistic team including the artistic director, director of new work, acting company, and resident designers allows us to provide this flexible roster of support and to mobilize the trajectory of a project as appropriate.

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.
