We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

• FROM MAY 21-JUNE 1, 2025, NHP HELD ITS ANNUAL WRITERS' RESIDENCY CONVENING 25 WRITERS AT ALL STAGES OF THEIR CAREERS IN NEW HARMONY, INDIANA TO RESEARCH, WRITE, AND DEVELOP NEW SCRIPTS IN AN ENVIRONMENT INTENTIONALLY DESIGNED TO FOSTER CREATIVITY, REFLECTION, AND COMMUNITY. THE COMMUNITY IDENTIFIED AS 68% BIPOC, 60% LGBTQ+, 80% FEMALE OR TRANS/GENDER NON-CONFORMING, AND 4% PARENT ARTISTS. THE 2025 RESIDENCY ALSO INCLUDED TWO PRODUCTIONS IN RESIDENCE, FOCUSED ON PLAYS ALREADY SLATED FOR PRODUCTION BY PARTNER THEATRES. ONE OF THESE PROJECTS, THE WATERFALL BY PHANSIA PHAREL, DEVELOPED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THROWN STONE PRODUCTIONS IN CONNECTICUT, EXPLORES THE TENSIONS BETWEEN A HAITIAN-AMERICAN MOTHER AND DAUGHTER NAVIGATING GENERATIONAL EXPECTATIONS, CARE, AND CULTURAL IDENTITY. THE WATERFALL WILL RECEIVE A WORLD PREMIERE PRODUCTION OFF-BROADWAY IN 2026, IN A CO-PRODUCTION BETWEEN THROWN STONE PRODUCTIONS AND WP THEATRE. NHP ALSO SUPPORTED THE DEVELOPMENT OF EMMY-NOMINATED MICHAEL SHAYAN'S NEW PLAY FOR MY NEXT TRICK. BY SUPPORTING WORKS LIKE THESE, THE NEW HARMONY PROJECT NOT ONLY HELPS PLAYWRIGHTS DEEPEN THEIR PRACTICE, BUT ALSO CONTRIBUTES TO THE NATIONAL PIPELINE OF NEW PLAYS THAT REFLECT THE FULL SPECTRUM OF LIVED EXPERIENCE. THE RESIDENCY BLENDS DRAMATURGICAL MEETINGS, COMMUNITY SALONS, AND BOTH FORMAL AND INFORMAL GATHERINGS TO SUPPORT THE FULL SPECTRUM OF THE ARTISTIC PROCESS. WE ALSO PROVIDE ONSITE WELLNESS SUPPORT THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY CARE CONSULTANT AND OFFER INTENTIONAL ACCOMMODATIONS FOR PARENT ARTISTS AND CAREGIVERS, INCLUDING COVERING ADDITIONAL COSTS, SO THAT ALL PARTICIPANTS CAN ENGAGE FULLY IN THEIR ARTISTIC PRACTICE.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made
