Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

WE MAKE THEATER FROM MUSIC: TRANSFORMING ARTISTS, AUDIENCES, AND COMMUNITY BY DISRUPTING EXPECTATIONS, NOURISHING EMPATHY, STIMULATING INSIGHT, AND DEEPENING THE CONVERSATION.

  • IN SERIES HAD A HUGELY SUCCESSFUL SEASON, WITH FOUR FULLY PRODUCED MAINSTAGE PRODUCTIONS OPENING, EMPLOYING OVER 180 ARTISTS. ALL PRODUCTIONS PRESENTED DURING THE 2023/2024 SEASON HAD SOLD OUT PERFORMANCES AND THE CRITICAL AND AUDIENCE RESPONSE WAS EXTREMELY POSITIVE. THE SEASON HAS INCLUDED PERFORMANCES IN MULTIPLE WASHINGTON, DC WARDS, AND OVER A DOZEN ADDITIONAL OUTREACH FREE ACTIVITIES, AS WELL AS FREE FILM SCREENINGS, AND COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS. WE ALSO PRODUCED FOUR DIGITAL WORKS USING DC ARTISTS AND FILMMAKERS, INCREASING OUR DIGITAL FOOTPRINT. IN SERIES ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THE DC-WIDE SHAKESPEARE EVERYWHERE FESTIVAL. IN ADDITION TO PRESENTING THE PROMISED END DURING THE FESTIVAL, IN SERIES SPONSORED AND COORDINATED THE GARBER LECTURE SERIES - FUNDED BY IN SERIES THROUGH A GRANT FROM HUMANITIES DC - FOR THE FESTIVAL. IN SERIES HAS ALSO MAINTAINED AND ADDED ALL OF THE SEASON'S PRODUCTIONS TO OUR DIGITAL ANNEX, INVISION: THE LOGAN OPERAHOUSE WITHOUT WALLS. THROUGH INVISION, IN SERIES SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE ACCESS TO OUR CONTENT AND PROGRAMMING THAT IS PRODUCED IN DC CAN BE VIEWED FOR FREE AT ANYTIME FROM ANYWHERE, INCLUDING IN 40 FOREIGN COUNTRIES. IN SERIES MADE THE DIFFICULT DECISION TO POSTPONE THE SEASON'S FINAL PRODUCTION, THE ALCESTIAD. ONE OF THE MAJOR PARTNERS FOR THE ALCESTIAD WAS THE NATIONAL WOMEN'S HISTORY MUSEUM AND, BECAUSE OF THEIR RENOVATION, THEY WERE NOT PREPARED TO MOVE FORWARD ON THE PROJECT WITH THE ORIGINAL TIMELINE. THE ALCESTIAD IS NOW SCHEDULED FOR PRESENTATION IN JULY 2025.

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.
