Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

MTC'S WORK INCLUDES PRODUCING AND DEVELOPING NEW WORK ON AND OFF-BROADWAY, NURTURING ARTISTS THROUGHOUT THEIR CAREERS, AND POSITIVELY IMPACTING THE LIVES OF MANY THROUGH INNOVATIVE EDUCATION PROGRAMS. WE ARE COMMITTED TO EQUITY, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION IN ALL OF OUR WORK, BOTH ON AND OFF THE STAGE.

Activities or mission (Part I)

MANHATTAN THEATRE CLUB, INC. IS A LEADING PRODUCER OF NEW WORKS ALONG WITH SIGNIFICANT REVIVALS.

  • Manhattan Theatre Club's mission since 1972 has been to develop and present new work in a dynamic, supportive environment; to identify and collaborate with the most exciting new as well as accomplished artists; and to produce a diverse repertoire of innovative, entertaining, and thought-provoking plays and musicals by American and international writers. Since 1989, MTC Education, which uses the power of live theatre and playwriting to awaken minds, ignite imaginations, open hearts, and change lives, has also been an important part of our work. In the year ending June 30, 2024, Manhattan Theatre Club ("MTC") produced a robust slate of plays which were attended by 188,360 audience members: the world premiere of "Jaja's African Hair Braiding" by Jocelyn Bioh; the Broadway premiere of "Prayer for the French Republic" by Joshua Harmon, and the Broadway premiere of "Mary Jane" by Herzog at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre on Broadway; and the New York premiere of "Poor Yella Rednecks" by Qui Nguyen, and the world premiere of "Brooklyn Laundry" by John Patrick Shanley Off-Broadway at NY City Center Stage I. In the same year, MTC commissioned 11 new plays, held 29 developmental readings and workshops, continued institutional work towards becoming an anti-racist organization, and reached 2,925 students and lifelong learners, many of whom were experiencing live theatre for the first time, through the portfolio of programs run by MTC Education.

    Expenses $24,527,329 · Revenue $18,682,307

  • MTC's Learning and Community Engagement programs create experiences that empower learners to engage joyfully and authentically with live theatre as authors, audience, and administrators. We connect with learners of all ages and from a wide range of communities - locally, national, and internationally - in an array of programs tailored to meet each community's learning goals and ensure informed encounters with the works on MTC stages. These include in-school playwriting and theatre preparatory residencies, student and family matinees, an internet-based distance-learning playwriting and production project, and community engagement workshops hosted in collaboration with our community partners. In addition, our robust theatre management training program cultivates the next generation of theatre professionals.

    Expenses $993,949 · Revenue $91,037

  • ARTISTIC DEVELOPMENT: MTC FOCUSES ON PRESENTING NEW YORK, AMERICAN AND WORLD PREMIERES OF INNOVATIVE THEATRE OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY. MTC'S ARTISTIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT OVERSEES THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW WORKS, NURTURING THE GROWTH OF PLAYS THAT GO ON TO BE PRODUCED AT MTC AND AT OTHER THEATRES AROUND THE COUNTRY AND THE WORLD. WE STRIVE TO BUILD ONGOING RELATIONSHIPS WITH PLAYWRIGHTS, SUPPORTING THEM THROUGHOUT THEIR CAREERS AND CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH WRITERS AND THEATRE ARTISTS ARE SUPPORTED BY THE FINEST PROFESSIONALS IN EVERY ASPECT OF PRODUCTION. MTC'S ARTISTIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM OFFERS COMMISSIONS, SCRIPT EVALUATION, DRAMATURGICAL SUPPORT, READINGS AND WORKSHOPS. THIS YEAR, WE HAVE REAFFIRMED OUR COMMITMENT TO EQUITY, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION AND UNDERTAKEN PLANS TO PRIORITIZE, EXPAND, AND RE-ENVISION OUR POLICIES AND ACTIONS. IN THIS PROCESS, WE ARE GUIDED BY OUR DESIRE TO SUPPORT BLACK, INDIGENOUS, AND POC THEATRE-MAKERS AND TO AMPLIFY THEIR VOICES-A DESIRE WHICH HAS IMPACTED OUR PROGRAMMING AND ARTISTIC PLANNING, INCLUDING COMMISSIONS AND VIRTUAL OFFERINGS, AS WELL AS OUR ADMINISTRATIVE POLICIES AND INITIATIVES REGARDING OUR STAFF, BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND PRODUCING PRACTICES, INCLUDING AUDIENCE DEVELOPMENT.

The first 25 listed. 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. 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

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Taxable family

From Schedule R Parts I, III and IV: entities that legally are the filer, and taxable partnerships, corporations and trusts it is related to. These record ownership and control, not shared board members or money.

California fundraising campaigns

Campaigns run by paid fundraisers, commercial coventurers and thrift stores naming this organization, as California published them. Both figures are as filed, and what the first one counts depends on the campaign type — a coventurer or a thrift store files its own sales rather than money collected for the charity. The 990 reports this only as a yearly total, never per campaign.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
